Each of us has to start somewhere. Maybe, just maybe, since we are one, if we all opened our hearts, everyone’s needs would be met. Sam likes to give to hospitals. Sally likes to give to the food bank. Jim has no money, but he does magic tricks, so he donates his time in the children’s hospital so they can have laughter… So on and so on.
In Robert Schuller’s Book, The Be Happy Attitudes, he says, “The word meek is not a good translation in terms of modern usage; it meant something totally different 400 years ago in old England, when the King James translation was done, than it does today. A better modern translation of the verse might be “Blessed are the mighty, the emotionally stable, the educable, the kindhearted, for they shall inherit the earth.” This is the person who will be successful and “inherit the earth.” M-mighty, E-emotionally stable, E-educable, K-kind.
