The ingredients that make up the recipe of a good life are:
1 cup of good thoughts
1 cup of consideration for others
1 cup of kind deeds
3 cups of forgiveness
2 cups of well beaten faults

Several tears of joy, sorrow and sympathy; combine with 4 cups of prayer and faith. Mix good thoughts, kind deeds, consideration, forgiveness and well-beaten faults. Add a mixture of tears of joy, sorrow and sympathy for others. Fold in prayer and faith to lighten other ingredients and raise the texture to great heights of Christian living. Pour all of this into your family life. Bake well with the heart of human kindness. Serve liberally with a smile.

Peter writes, “For, ‘The one who desires life, to love and see good days, must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit. He must turn away from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it.” (1 Peter 3:10-11).
