(no subject)
When...
* When I saw an adult speak harshly to a child and pull the child along with determined force, I did nothing. ....It was none of my business......
* When we had Guest at Our Table, I was very casual about urging contributions, or putting in anything myself. ....Others would contribute......
* When we saw a street person collecting cans, I didn't stop the disparaging remarks about "wasted" people.... After all, I wasn't one of them.......
* When someone asked about being forgiven by God, I changed the subject.... My belief was different from theirs......
* When I attended the discussion last night, I was sure to have my say!....MY ideas are important....
* When I wasted natural resources without a thought, I realized that my actions were not in harmony with my beliefs.....
And I vowed to change my actions ...children are watching.
