“Any good, therefore, that I
can do …” is the beginning of a quote that is familiar to some of you. Have you ever wondered what you would be or do when you grow up? I still say that, even though some say I am no longer a "spring chicken!" I have been having periodic “chats”
with God lately, telling Him that I really don’t know what I should be doing
now, what direction my life should take, among other things.
A best friend of a relative of mine is facing health concerns for the second time around. Her family and ours were best friends growing up, so it hits pretty close to me. My relative told me one of my posts really helped this friend of hers when I had referred to the Serenity Prayer. I have said this before that we never know what good we can do, or have done by our example or kind words. This was one of those times.

"I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being let me do it now...for I shall not pass this way again." The pearl I take from this quote is that if I am open to that divine spirit within me, and listen to that small, still voice inside, I will know what I am to do even if it doesn't seem like an answer to a far off question of my future life.
Perhaps it is enough to reach out to a friend with a letter, a phone call or a meal. Maybe a gesture or compliment would warm a person's heart. Doing some good or showing a kindness goes an awful long way. What is that spirit calling you to do?
