We may learn the finest arts of life, — music, painting, sculpture, poetry, or may master the noblest sciences, or by means of reading, study, travel, and converse with refined people, may attain the best culture; but if in all this we do not learn love, and become more gentle in spirit and act, we have missed the prize of living. If in the midst of all our duties, cares, trials, joys, sorrows, we are not day by day growing in sweetness, in gentleness, in patience, in meekness, in unselfishness, in thoughtfulness, and in all the branches of love, we are not learning the great lesson set for us by our Master in this school of life.

Very beautiful my dearest friend..
ReplyDeleteMay I learn and grow more gentle everyday, with all my heart in everyway, to all around I see each day, may I grow more gentle, may I grow less like me, and ever more, so much more like him.
Hugs Nell
