This
Christmas
end a quarrel.
Seek out a forgotten
friend. Dismiss suspicion,
and replace it with trust....
Write a love letter. Share some
treasure. Give a soft answer. En-
courage youth. Manifest your loyalty in
word and deed. Keep a promise. Find the
time. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Listen.
Apologize if you were wrong. Try to understand.
Flout envy. Examine your demands on others. Think
first of someone else. Appreciate. Be kind; be gentle
Laugh a little. Laugh a little more. Deserve confidence.
Take up arms against malice. Decry complacency. Express your
gratitude. Kiss the one you love. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the
heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the
earth.
Hug your dog.
Speak your love, speak
it again. Speak
it still once
again.

U S U A L S U S P E C T S
These are called ?Usual Suspects? posts. In the movie ?Casablanca? when there
was a problem the police chief said, ?Round up the usual suspects.? When
forwarding inspiring e-mails I found I was sending them to the same people over
and over again. The ?Casablanca? quote came to mind and the mail-list took on
the name ?Usual Suspects.?
The <US>Usual Suspects Group began as a separate e-mail list with.. A post or
two are sent each week, consisting of inspirational and humorous Stories and
anecdotes forwarded to me by our members.
Posts to this group are not intended to offend, hurt or discriminate against
anybody. They come from different theologies and points of view that aren't
necessarily Father Pat's, Catholic, or that of Father Pat's Diocese or the
parish he serves. Some are humorous, others inspirational, most are both. They
are simply food for thought, prayer, enjoyment and good conversation. If you
don't wish to receive them, please unsubscribe. It is not our intent to pass on
copyrighted material. Many of the posts we receive don't quote a source, so we
can't be absolutely sure. We ask our members *not* to submit copyrighted
material.
Stories for possible Usual Suspects inclusion should
be submitted at our Web Site.
