No Indispensable Man

Sometimes when you are feeling important, sometimes when your ego is in bloom,

Sometimes when you take it for granted, that you're the best qualified person in the room,

Sometimes when you feel that your going would leave an unfillable hole,

Just follow this simple instruction and see how it humbles your soul.

Put your hands in a bucket of water, immerse them up to your wrist,

Pull them out and the hole that remains is a measure of how you'll be missed.

You may splash all you please when you enter, you may stir up the water galore,

But stop - and you'll find in a minute that it looks just the same as before.

The moral of this is quite simple, just always do the best that you can,

Be proud of yourself - but remember that there is no indispensable man.

Encourage one another, using only words that build up and bless others. Ephesians 4:29

This is one of our family rules and yes, it's a struggle sometimes with four kids, but I do believe that it will sink in to who they are and will someday carry over to so many others.  Wouldn't life be better if everyone was kinder than they needed to be?

When you see someone without a smile, give him one of yours.

Sometimes a simple smile is all someone needs to brighten their day.  Try it!

don't worry about the world ending today, it's already tomorrow in Australia! -Charles Shultz

This is  ABSOLUTELY my favorite quote! Charles Shultz said this and it really made me laugh! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! = )
