The 'New' COMMANDMENTS!

I read today that the Pope has issued a list of new deadly sins. Deadly sins sounds pretty ominuous, right? The original 7 deadly sins were issued by Pope Gregory in the 6th century. They were since rejected by theologians including Thomas Aquinas. I'll bet you never heard of this sin as drawn by the Pope Gregory.

"It is a sin to be sad"

I think they should have kept it! And I can't imagine why they dropped that one, it's beautiful.

All this got me to thinking about the 10 Commandments. As I was daydreaming, I thought to myself....what if I was God for a day, what commandments would I give? I wrote down my list and of course, whether you want it or not here are

THE NEW 10 (MORE) COMMANDMENTS....

1. Thou shalt accept what is and love it.

2. Thou shalt show kindness to everything and everyone.

3. Thou shalt give daily and with a happy heart.

4. Thou shalt dream big dreams and pursue them.

5. Thou shalt simplify.

6. Thou shalt believe in the potential of one's self and of others.

7. Thou shalt forgive as you would yourself would want to be forgiven.

8. Thou shalt remember that your body is a sacred gift and is to be loved.

9. Thou shalt seek solitude and silence in times when you need answers.

10. Thou shalt smile often and remember that my gift for you, is that life was meant to be fun, easy and over-flowing with abundance.

Not bad huh? Don't you think the world would be a much better place with my commandments. I'm not calling for the abolishment of the exisiting commandants, just a modern day update. Got a better one, let me know?

Smile, we live in an imperfect world and I am the perfect example!
