"Flowers
Leave Their Fragrance on
the
Hand That Bestows Them"
There's
an old chinese proverb that, if practiced
each
day, Would change the whole world
in
a wonderful way--
It's
truth is so simple, it's so easy to do,
and
it works every time and successfully, too---
For
you can't do a kindness without a reward,
Not
in silver nor gold, but in joy from the Lord...
You
can't light a candle to show others the way,
Without
feeling the warmth of that bright little ray...
And
you can't pluck a rose all fragrant with dew,
Without
part of its fragrance remaining with you.
