Tuesday Thoughts (or Monday thoughts if you're in the US :D )

Hello readers! :) I hope you are having a wonderful day, serving the one who redeemed us.

Today, I thought I would share with you a few of President George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behaviour in Company and Conversation. He penned these guidelines at the age of only fourteen! I would recommend the reading of all 110 rules. They are good ones, and should be applied even today! The original spelling is unchanged, for your information.

1st - Every Action done in Company, ought to be with Some Sign of Respect, to those that are Present.
6th - Sleep not when others Speak, Sit not when others stand, Speak not when you Should hold your Peace, walk not on when others Stop.
28th - If any one come to Speak to you while you are are Sitting Stand up tho he be your Inferiour, and when you Present Seats let it be to every one according to his Degree.
38th - In visiting the Sick, do not Presently play the Physicion if you be not Knowing therein.
39th - In writing or Speaking, give to every Person his due Title According to his Degree & the Custom of the Place.
44th - When a man does all he can though it Succeeds not well blame not him that did it.
56th - Associate yourself with Men of good Quality if you Esteem your own Reputation; for 'tis better to be alone than in bad Company.
73rd -Think before you Speak pronounce not imperfectly nor bring out your Words too hastily but orderly & distinctly.
89th - peak not Evil of the absent for it is unjust.
98th - Drink not nor talk with your mouth full neither Gaze about you while you are a Drinking.
110th - Labour to keep alive in your Breast that Little Spark of Celestial fire Called Conscience.

Blessings to you, dear ladies! Keep pressing on the upward way!!

A little verse

"Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness."

Romans 4:4-5

A friend gave it to me (via Daddy/God of course) And really it's simply amazing- if we believe God has got a hold of our miserable situation, he will count that faith as righteousness even if we can't seem to make anything good out of it!

Thoughtful Tuesdays :: Great is Thy Faithfulness!

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

~Lamentations 3:22-23 ~ NIV ~

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;

There is no shadow of turning with Thee;

Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;

As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see.

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Patience :: Thoughtful Tuesdays

"But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness." 
-- 1 Timothy 6:11 {KJV}

"Patience is a grace as difficult as it is necessary,
and as hard to come by as it is precious when it is gained."
-- Charles Spurgeon
