These are the final words in a small book written by Charles Dickens to his children called, “The Life of Our Lord.” To me they embrace who we are. Quote:Remember! It is Christianity TO DO GOOD, always – even to those who do evil to us. It is Christianity to love our neighbour as ourself, and to do to all men as we would have them do to us. It is Christianity to be gentle, merciful, and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in our own hearts, and never make a boast of them, or of our prayers or of our love of God, but always to show that we love Him by humbly, trying to do right in everything. If we do this, and remember the life and lessons of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and try to act up to them, we may confidently hope that God will forgive us our sins and mistakes, and enable us to live and die in peace.
I have that book, actually it was a gift to my wife so I suppose she has it. Anyway, I love Dickens and I believe he had some glimpses of spirituality that prophets may get. My son has wondered if he may have seen an angel because of his description of the Ghost of Christmas Past. Thanks for sharing, I had forgotten about that quote – but I believe it.
Thanks for sharing Mom! That is a great message.
