Kindness counts and compassion is a beautiful thing… ~ Bette A. Stevens http://www.4writersandreaders.com

Sacred Touches

The purpose of life is not to be happy.
It is to be useful, to be honorable,
to be compassionate,
to have it make some difference
that 
you have lived and lived well.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Happiness can be found in giving kindnesses. Both can be had for a fulfilled life. For it is in giving that we receive. Thank you for your post and most wonderful thoughts, Bette!
