Grandparent's Road To Saintly Behavior


1. Find God in simple chores. We all share responsibility for doing simple chores. Place emphasis on the sharing and doing. Be available.

2. Be positive. Complement one another. Look for the best in others. Give people the benefit of the doubt.

3. Spend an hour each day reading about things that matter. Spend time talking about things that matter, praying with each other. Good substitute for TV.

4. Balance solitude with activity. Provide space for quiet time.

5. Move towards more prayer, spiritual reading, masses or church services.

6. Take periodic retreats away from home.

7. Be in touch with nature, such as gardening, walks, beaches.

8. Be a part and keep in touch with small group in your communities. Find places of trust, respect, safe havens to be.

9. Exercise, eat healthy, share physical activities with others.

10. Listen to the still small voice inside you and follow what it tells you.

11. Rediscover your purest inner self. You become pleased with yourself when you know that God is pleased with you, and self-concerns disappear.

12. Be charitable and giving. We express this by taking care of each other, kindness and respect for each other, living the golden rule, sharing of time talent and treasure.

13. Encourage and find ways to enhance your faith. Focus on God and living the Spiritual life.

14. Look back on life's experiences to rediscover meaningful times of growth and happiness.

15. Base your decisions and actions on what you perceive to be right, not on possibilities for benefits and entitlements.
