This Teaching says,
"In moments of harassment, or I feel I am being
nagged, I must learn to curb my anger. I must learn
to offer it to God so that I will not retaliate and cause
hurt, harm, or even danger."

TEACHING DELIVERED THROUGH FRANCES M. KLUG
ON MAY 13,1980

"A LOOK AT ME"

"When I look in the mirror I see a reflection
of me. Sometimes, after I have been with other people,
I notice in little ways, their imitation of me, perhaps
in a word, perhaps in a gesture, but the moment I see
it, I recognize it stemmed from me.

There are many times I see myself as not good
company. I fight with myself at these times. I argue
with my own lack of ability to feel better than I do,
to be able to express more joy than I can, for I allow
myself moments of sadness when I should be exerting
myself to use all the things that I am, to give hope to
others and action in charity.

I see myself one day looking pretty sharp, and then
maybe within a few hours I feel bedraggled and see
only a dismal view. What happened to me? Why am
I acting like this? Why am I not optimistic? How can
I change this?

All these moments of concern in anyone's life can
be handled quite easily, as a thought goes to God with
a prayer in my heart for things to be seen realistically.
Sometimes a prayer in just a thought, sometimes an act
of charity, makes things look brighter and clearer to me
instantaneously.

In moments of harassment, or I feel I am being
nagged, I must learn to curb my anger. I must learn
to offer it to God so that I will not retaliate and cause
hurt, harm, or even danger.

I must remember that all the times in my life
cannot be filled with laughter, but I also must remember
that I must share and must give so others will find cheer
in my presence and feel it after I have left their presence,
when I have gone away. I must always remember to
leave a happy thought, a happy word, an example of
hope, for then my presence will have been worthwhile.

The responsibilities of life, the chores that are
necessary, I must handle with assurance, and I must use
these times not just as responsibilities, but as privileges,
for then I will feel differently in how I handled them
and I will be more eager to solve any problems, for
when something is a privilege, it rings clear and has
in it worth. Responsibilities also carry this, but when
we think of all the things in our life that are necessities,
as just responsibilities, they become heavy and we see
them only as burden.

Tonight, when I look in the mirror, I will see my
reflection, but with these thoughts in mind, and a new
feeling about how much of God I walked with today,
how many times I prayed to Him today, it will give a
light to my reflection. And as I lay my head, I cannot
help but feel that today has hope in it for tomorrow,
for I am growing in so many ways, not just looking at
my reflection, but using my reflection and all the things
I am to express to everyone I meet, God's Love for
every man.

Now that I see myself in a different light, I can
conquer many faults, for in this strength, I feel I've
gained, I am stronger, and more willing to face the
changes that are necessary to one day make me a Saint."
