A Mary T. Hoffman Commentary from All-Creatures.org
"Joyful Curmudgeon" An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the same
time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the world, and feel
called to help expose and end it so that we may have true peace and compassion.
A Few Words of Wisdom – 12 January 2007
By Mary T. Hoffman
A friend gave us a framed version of the following words of wisdom attributed to George Washington Carver:
“How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young; compassionate with the aged; sympathetic of the striving & tolerant of the weak & the strong. Because someday in life, you will have been all of these.”
In this thoughtful gift, the following words are emphasized so that they stand out: Tender, Compassionate, Sympathetic, and Tolerant. Good advice, don’t you think?
