Thought for August 17

[Thought for the Day]

     God is displeased with the selfish interest so often manifested for "me
and my family." Every family that cherishes this spirit needs to be
converted by the pure principles exemplified in the life of Christ. Those
who shut themselves up within themselves, who are unwilling to drawn upon to
entertain visitors, lose many blessings.  Adventist Home, p. 447
