The Lord Delights In Every Little Step

The Elephant, Not Only The Largest But The Most Intelligent Of Animals, Provides Us With An Excellent Example. It Is Faithful And Tenderly Loving To The Female Of Its Choice, Mating Only Every Third Year And Then For No More Than Five Days, And So Secretly As Never To Be Seen, Until, On The Sixth Day, It Appears And Goes At Once To Wash Its Whole Body In The River, Unwilling To Return To The Herd Until Thus Purified. Such Good And Modest Habits Are An Example To Husband And Wife.

Don't Get Upset With Your Imperfections. It's A Great Mistake Because It Leads Nowhere - To Get Angry Because You Are Angry, Upset At Being Upset, Depressed At Being Depressed, Disappointed Because You Are Disappointed. So Don't Fool Yourself. Simply Surrender To The Power Of God's Love, Which Is Always Greater Than Our Weakness.

Humility Consists In Not Esteeming Ourselves Above Other Men, And In Not Seeking To Be Esteemed Above Them.
