The virtue of Faithfulness

FAITHFULNESS
The word "unfaithful" is heard far more often today than faithfulness. It's not just about being faithful to a friend or partner. It's also about being loyal to our beliefs and standing firm and steadfast regardless of what happens.

Is your faith being tested? Stay strong and learn from your experience. With people we love, we are trustworthy and they know that we will not abandon them or violate the sacred trust between us. A sign of lasting love is a faithfulness that survives life's changes and tests. Faithful friendship is one of life's greatest treasures.

Gautama Buddha said: "Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship."

HOW TO PRACTICE THE VIRTUE OF FAITHFULNESS

*stay committed to your beliefs
*look for the lessons in your tests and difficulties
*stand by your loved ones and friends
*create abiding relationships
*cherish and protect your friendships

Are you practicing your virtue of Faithfulness today?

I think you should do this blog in swedish, I don't feel people will be too interested in English.

What Betsy is doing, a newsletter is more interesting.

Too much text, would take too long to read.

But I would use the virtue cards and send out a quote of the week or month.
I think you'd get a tremendous response here in Sweden in Swedish.
