Good deeds

"Do all the good you can.
By all the means you can
I all the ways you can
In all the places you can
At all the times you can
To all the people you can
Al long as ever you can." -- John Wesley

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions." -- Anonymous

Indeed.
Are you a good deeder or a wannabe who procrastinates?
We all strive to do good deeds, but sometimes we stray or put it off until...
If you don't do something good when you have the window of opportunity, shame on you!
Sometimes we must make choices and sometimes the decisions aren't just black or white, but a tinge of grey, just like my beard.
I hope to inspire someone someday like my parents who were Christian saints who instilled in their children the paths of righteousness and good will to all men.
They made sacrifices at times.
They weren't storing up riches on earth.
Sometimes for Christmas all we got were clothes, but those were necessities.
They spent a lifetime doing good deeds to all they could, by all means, in all ways, in all places, at all times, to everyone and as long as they lived.
Even when they were both not in very good health, they still became involved in the literacy program at Central Methodist Church in Conway.
They were even teaching an Hispanic to read. They wished they could speak Spanish so it would be easier.
So, what path are you traversing?
Are you doing good deeds or just pretending that you want to do some good things?
Hopefully we'll meet in the hereafter and reminisce about the goodness of God and the great times we had here on earth.
