Today was a major cleanup day in our house. The dust in my lungs still has me coughing! I went through old papers, documents, letters, and such that have been stored away in boxes for many years. I came across a letter which contained a quote that I would like to share with you. It is worthy of much meditation and application in our own lives. After going through countless near-death experiences, Prit and I are all too aware of life’s fragility and the importance of seizing the moments that are allowed us to do good upon this earth. I hope you are as blessed by this as I was.
”I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness or abilities that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” – William Penn
I gave a pair of tennis shoes that were too small for me to the young man that cleans our house once a week. Manno is the father of two children and works very hard just to make ends meet. The pleasure was all mine as I watched his face light up. It was just a small gift that really didn’t cost me anything. I would love to have given him so much more because I know how much he struggles to provide for his family. But I am thankful that I could spread a little kindness around today, for one day, ”I shall not pass this way again.” – Dana
