Motherhood is a challenging opportunity to help children fulfill their divine purpose. Sharing life principles in a loving way helps children see that every experience offers insight into who we are and what we are meant to learn. #mothersday #lifeprinciples #resiliency #healing #parenting #love

William Hamilton, Scottish minister, contrasts the suffering around him with the life of beneficence that is to be Christianity (in a prior paragraph before this quote). He’s not only inveighing against crime but selfishness. These are the works of the graceless and ungodly.
How can you life a life of kindness and beneficence?

James WC Pennington, Presbyterian pastor, reflects on differing views about revolutions. Everyone happy for more freedom for white people across both sides of the Atlantic, but were telling enslaved people to be patient.
Is it not absurd to focus on the few rare “good apples” when the norm is an abomination? (Even the best ones are still a crime?)
How can we be less patient with the suffering of others?

Augustine, north African bishop, talks of criminal justice in the ideal city. He says torture must play no role in extracting a confession, because the victim will say anything to make the torture stop. It’s wicked.
Understood in the first century, but not the twenty-first, especially by those who claim church tradition. How can you be more merciful to the “might be innocent” around you?
