I in an attempt to stay in touch with my family I have been writing what I call the family newsletter almost every Sunday morning for over 3 years now. Remarkably that email string now includes some 60 folks, mostly family but we adopt many others into our family. I have been pleased to hear my grandchildren, nieces and nephews, etc. mention things I write about in this weekly rambling.
This vehicle allows me to spread affirmations, birthdays, news and what I call my “Nuggets of Wisdom" like:
'LOVE IS AN ANTIDOTE FOR FEAR'
'Good morning Lovable and Loving Folks'
“What is your moral code in relation to right and wrong?”
“Everything that defends, protects and serves life – God’s major gift – is positive. Everything that offends against, oppresses and excludes life is negative. LOVE is RIGHT! The absence of Love is WRONG!”
This comes from a man named Frei Betto; a Brazilian theological Unifier (Love that title) in response to the question “What is your moral code in relation to right and wrong?”
As a Caring Grandparent this is the kind of message that I want to offer to my grandchildren, family and any of you that read this.
Let us stand on the side of right and share that with as many as will listen.
