I remember being told to tie a string around my finger to remember something important. If I look down at the string, I would be reminded of something I’m supposed to go or something I’m supposed to do. I have a wedding ring on my finger that serves as a reminder of my commitment…
I do appreciate it when I do something for someone else and they try to “pay me back” for it. Reciprocal means something given or felt in return. I try to be reciprocal to others out of gratitude for their kindness or good will. I came across a passage from the story of Noah…
This term carries with it being morally right and even virtuous. I’ve known some people I believed to be righteous. It sure seems impossible to me because I know that I’m human. As hard as I may try, I’m not righteous. The people I believe to be righteous still have to do battle with their…
