Bear with Others
Forgive, forget. Bear with the faults of others as you would have them bear with yours. Be patient and understanding.—The Rt. Rev. Phillips Brooks (1835-1893)
Life is too short to be vengeful or malicious.

Amen! I'm considering printing this to pass around as I venture into the world today. Lord knows I needed it yesterday. (Much crankiness out there this season) :) We need to remember that we're all in the same recession.
Y'all have a BLESSED day!!! "Bear the bears!"

Amen; just what I needed to hear today.
I agree with Kelly about the crankiness (and the pain) out there these days.
Nice piece you wrote in the Episcopal Life on Thanksgiving,
Peace,
