Blessed
are those who can laugh at themselves: they
will have no end of fun.
Blessed are those who can
tell a mountain from a molehill,
they will be saved
a lot of bother.
Blessed
are those who know how to relax without looking for excuses,
they are on the way to
becoming wise.
Blessed
are those who are sane enough not to take themselves seriously,they
will be valued by those about them.
Happy
are you if you can take small things seriously and face serious things
calmly: you
will go far in life.
Happy
are you if you can be kind in understanding the attitude of others even if
the signs are unfavourable, you
may be taken as a fool but this is the price of charity.
Blessed
are those who think before acting and pray before thinking:
they will
avoid many blunders.
Happy
are you if you know how to hold your tongue and smile, even when people
interrupt and contradict you or tread on your toes, the
gospel has begun to seep into your heart.
Above
all, BLESSED are you who recognise the Lord in all whom you meet:the
light of truth shines in your life for you have found true wisdom.
