I'm Shawn. The best way to know me is to just ask....I'm currently trying to get in to the U.S. Army.
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials,
for we know that they are good for us-they help us learn
to endure. And endurance develops strength of character
in us, and character strengthens our confident expectation
of salvation.
Romans 5:3-4 (New Living Translation
"And now these things remain–faith, hope, and love–but the greatest of these is love. Therefore, let love be your greatest aim..."
(I Corinthians 13:13-14)
Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and
graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.
Matthew 5:48 (The Message)
An 'enemy' is someone that God puts in our path that is most in need of our love; not retaliation or retribution or harm or insult.
John Carmody
Former US Marine Captain and Silver Star Recipient
Anyway
People are unreasonable, illogical and self centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The kindness you show today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Be kind anyway.
Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest person with the biggest ideas can be shot down
by the smallest person with the smallest mind.
Think big anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help, but may attach you if you help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you've got,
and you might get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
