"Don't fritter away precious moments by dwelling on hardships -
moments that become spoiled, spent, or sullied.
Instead GIVE THANKS in all things,
as that is the will of God.
Go back over the last few days and think of the things that have happened in your life,
thanking God for them" (Amish Peace)
