On Service

Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray.

Don't let what you can't do, stop you from doing what you can.

Ask what the need is, and how your life can be useful to others by serving.  A leader must be a servant first.

Keep on silently repeating the name of the Lord and never worry about the results.  The results are entirely His.

-- Sathya Sai Baba, from Sathya Sai Newsletter, Winter 1999-2000

Being Here

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

In Sunshine or Storm, Remember...

May the strength from the days when the 

road rises to meet you, the days when the

wind is at your back, the days when the

sunshine is warm upon your face, the days

when the rain falls soft upon the 

fields, . . . .  carry you through the days when

you fall on the road, when the wind blows

your house away, when it seems like the sun

will never shine again, and the rains are

washing your foundations away!  And -- in 

every day of days -- sunshine or storm -- 

remember that God holds you in the palm of 

His Hand.

Give your best . . . anyway

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and

self-centered; forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, People may accuse you of

selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false

friends and some true enemies; Succeed

anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat

you; Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone

could destroy overnight; Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, there may

be jealousy; Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often 

forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may

never be enough; Give the world the best

you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you

 and God; It was never between you and

them anyway.

-- Mother Theresa, passed along by Mary Ann Lewis

A Gift, Daily

"Past is history,

future is mystery,

the present is a gift,

and that's why it is called the present."

-- Sathya Sai Baba (Sathya Sai Newsletter, USA, 26(4), p. 5; also known to be attributed to other sources)

So, I told my wife that she' s really becoming a "big cheese."

I'm thinking of changing the title of the "Mary Lynn Adzema's Writings" page to "The Teachings of the Compassionate Gouda."
