Extra Yarn (Mac Barnett)

 

This is another book of magic. It is about a girl who has a box that looks just like any other box. It has yarn in it. But actually, it isn't like any other box at all.She shares what she has and is able to keep giving and giving and giving.....even when people try to thwart her efforts.

This book really made me think about how important it is to just go about doing good. A great lesson in a really simple story.

Love Them Anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Be good anyway.

Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People need help, but may attack you if you try to help them.
Help them anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
