Welcome Integrity: Reminders

Body
Reminders keep us in check. “Please” and “Thank you” are as important as “May I help you?.” Calendars flag events and appointments. Grocery lists are best not to be left at home. And… may I add? Whispered I love you’s fill hearts to the brim. Say the Lord’s Prayer daily to alter conditions--and remember that with God, promises made are promises kept.

The Country Parson

Body
I was sitting in the shopping mall, drinking coffee and taking a break. I don't like going to the mall, but sometimes I have to go and pick up something for The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. Sometimes, I think she does it on purpose, knowing how much I dislike it. I try to make the most of it.
