I Shall Not Pass This Way Again

I SHALL NOT PASS THIS WAY AGAIN

Through this toilsome world, alas!
Once and only once I pass;
If a kindness I may show,
If a good deed I may do
To a suffering fellow man,
Let me do it while I can.
No delay, for it is plain
I shall not pass this way again.

We can Always Learn Positively

We learn or are reminded not only from or by what we hear but also from what we see or observe. Even if we see the negative, we can learn from it by analyzing its bad effects and make it a goal to do otherwise.

Some of the things I was reminded of and/or learned today from the negative things I have observed are:

1. 1. We should be conscious of the time limit when we speak. It invites distraction and loss of the Spirit if exceed the time limit.

2. 2. We are a peculiar people. People see us – just like those who are seated in the pulpit. The congregation sees us if we talk or if we frown or smile or if we are listening or not. Our actuations or facial expressions may invite them to feel the spirit or be distracted. Let us be very careful.

3. 3. We should not be late for Church because it also creates distraction from the Spirit. In relation to this, we should never be late on anything.
