A letter from my CEO

In my e-mail "mailbox" this morning I received the following letter from our CEO.

I'm pretty proud to be working for a company run by a CEO who is not afraid to express his feelings on the definition of Christmas and to wish all of his "system members" a Merry Christmas.

"System Members" kind of bothers me because when I first started with the company in 1993 the term was "U-Haul members and families". I guess there are certain concessions that need to be made when a company grows year after year. Most of the time it still "feels" family-oriented though--although that could also depend on the immediate superviser one is lucky (or unlucky) enough to get. I am one of the lucky ones. Thanks, Todd.

"I demand from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse or absolve yourself from it.

I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbor:
the first — by deed, the second — by word, the third — by prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of mercy, and it is an unquestionable proof of love for Me. By this means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy.

Many souls ... are often worried because they do not have the material means with which to carry out an act of mercy. Yet spiritual mercy, which requires neither permissions nor storehouses, is much more meritorious and is within the grasp of every soul.

If a soul does not exercise mercy somehow or other, it will not obtain My mercy on the day of judgment. Oh, if only souls knew how to gather eternal treasure for themselves, they would not be judged, for they would forestall My judgment with their mercy".
