SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

ARE YOU AN ACTIVE MEMBER the kind that would be missed? OR ARE YOU JUST CONTENT that your name is on the list DO YOU ATTEND MEETINGS and mingle with the flock OR DO YOU STAY AT HOME and criticize and knock DO YOU TAKE AN ACTIVE PART TO help the work along OR ARE YOU JUST SATISFIED TO BE the kind that “Just Belongs”? DO YOU EVER GO TO VISIT a member who is sick OR JUST LEAVE THE WORK TO A FEW and talk about the clique THERE’S QUITE A PROGRAM SCHEDULED that I’m sure you heard about AND WE’LL APPRECIATE IT IF YOU will come and help us out SO COME TO MEETINGS OFTEN and help with hand and heart DON’T BE JUST A MEMBER but take an active part THINK IT OVER MEMBER you know right from wrong ARE YOU AN ACTIVE MEMBER or do you “Just Belong”?

The husband said, 'We might as well. We need to do something before I really lose my temper!' The clergyman agreed to

There's much movement, but eventually the women are gone and there are two lines. The line of the men that were dominated is 100 miles long. The line of men that dominated women has only one man.

God gets angry and says, 'You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created you in my image and you were all dominated by your mates. Look at the only one of my sons that stood up and made me proud. Learn from him!'

He turns to the man and says, 'Tell them, my son. How did you manage to be the only one on that line?'

The man says, 'I don't know, my wife told me to stand here.'

Help Yourself To Happiness

Everybody, everywhere seeks happiness, it’s true,

But finding it and keeping it seem difficult to do.

Difficult because we think that happiness is found

Only in the places where wealth and fame abound. And so we go on searching

in palaces of pleasure Seeking recognition

and monetary treasure, Unaware that happiness

is just a state of mind Within the reach of everyone

who takes time to be kind. For in making others happy

we will be happy, too. For the happiness you give away

returns to shine on you.
