Tell Them

"I mean that though you must never tell the secrets of a king," I said, "nothing is more pleasing to the Holy One than when you tell about the secret things he is always doing for people or trying to do if they give him half a chance. I am thinking about all the things he has done for you and your family, for instance. Tell people about those things and never forget them yourself. Tell them how even on the darkest stretches of the road to Ecbatana, he was always at your side if you'd only had the eyes to see him."
