Baha'h'llah says

" Strive that your actions day by day may be beautiful prayers. Seek always to do that which is good and noble. Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbour, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge. Be fair in thy judgement, and guarded in thy speech. Be unjust to no man, and show all meekness to all men. Be as a lamp unto them that walk in darkness, a joy to the soorowful, a sea for the thirsty, a haven for the distressed, an upholder and defender of the victim of oppression. Let integrity and uprightness distinguish all thine acts. Be a home for the stranger, a balm for the suffering, a tower of strength for the fugitive. Be eyes unto the blind and a guiding light to the feet of the erring. Be an ornament to the countenance of truth, a crown to the brow of fidelity, a pillar of the temple of righteousness, a breathe of life to the body of mankind, an ensign of the hosts of justice, a luminary above the horizon of virtue, a dew to the soul of the human heart, an ark on the ocean of knowledge, a sun in the heaven of bounty, a gem in the diadem of wisdom, a shining light in the firmament of thy generation, a fruit upon the tree of humility. Do not busy yourselves in your own concerns, let your thoughts be fixed upon that which will rehabilitate the fortunes of mankind and sanctify the hearts and souls of men"

O.K. well all of that should keep me busy. The hardest for me as always is to be guarded in my speech. I have a temper that can be quite frightenning. Usually I lose it with the children, and that hurts. I find myself regretting things I have said. I must work on that. I am inspired by the words 'Strive that your actions day by day may be beautiful prayers' as I have never placed much store in prayer that excludes action. Today my actions will be my prayer. I shall remain prayerful.

Blessings
