We wish we were:
-Big enough honestly to admit all our shortcomings.
-Brilliant enough to accept praise without it making us arrogant.
-Tall enough to tower above deceit.
-Strong enough to welcome criticism.
-Compassionate enough to understand human frailties.
-Wise enough to recognize our mistakes.
-Humble enough to appreciate greatness.
-Staunch enough to stand by our friends.
-Human enough to be thoughtful of our neighbors.
and
-Righteous enough to be devoted to the love of God.
-Big enough honestly to admit all our shortcomings.
-Brilliant enough to accept praise without it making us arrogant.
-Tall enough to tower above deceit.
-Strong enough to welcome criticism.
-Compassionate enough to understand human frailties.
-Wise enough to recognize our mistakes.
-Humble enough to appreciate greatness.
-Staunch enough to stand by our friends.
-Human enough to be thoughtful of our neighbors.
and
-Righteous enough to be devoted to the love of God.
Most of us are really not all that strong. We don't
always act with courage. Some of us are not as brilliant as others, or charming and wise. But today we can wish for these things in our lives. And when you lie down tonight, you'll sleep easier knowing that wishes can come true if you work on them.
