Stand a Little Taller

June 2 Avoid Criticism
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three;
but the greatest of these is charity.
-1 CORINTHIANS 13-13

Criticism is the forerunner of divorce, the cultivator of rebellion, a catalyst that leads to failure. I am asking that we turn from the negative that so permeates our society and look for the remarkable good among those with whom we associate, that we speak of one another's virtues more than we speak of one another's faults, that optimism replace pessimism, that our faith exceeds our fears. When I was a young man and was prone to speak critically, my father would say:"Cynics do not contribute, skeptics do not create, doubters do not achieve."


I have had this book for 8 yrs and rarely open it. The other day I did right to this and also June 1 they both speak true to changes I am trying to make, see, and understand in my own life. I hope I learn from this book and take every moment of this life to learn.
