Hey everyone….

Thanks so much for your continued love and prayers…God is Good and our eyes and hearts are on Him…

I want to share a poem that has become inspirational for me…Apparently, there was a version of this written on the wall of Mother Teresa’s bedroom…There are a few different versions of the poem floating around, and I have kind of combined them here below…I think they are beautiful and powerful words to live by….

Let’s keep our eyes on Jesus…our hearts steadfast on Him….His is our Rock and Redeemer…Our Healer and Restorer….He is a very present Help in time of trouble….

Love and blessings…I am so grateful for you….Robert

The Paradoxical Commandments

Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
