This
is My post from an old site, but one of my favorites, while we deal
with so much bad it is often we especially here in the US need to
look at things from a different perspective.
Last
Sunday and I was out and around, we stopped at a traffic light and a
Church Missions Group gentleman came up and wanted a donation so we
gave the man some money in his bucket.
He
smiled at us and handed me a wonderful gift I thought I would share
with you, it has helped me in the past and I use it to work with
people in peer to peer groups, helping others. With everyone,
including myself arguing with everyone and not really sharing ideas
but blasting them at each other, it seemed like a good idea to step
back and think about who we all are. I know I am..feel free or not,
your choice.

From
a small church in my neighborhood.
Here
is the thing that keeps me going..even through the roughest times,
given to me by a very close friend years ago.
"When
things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When
the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When
funds are low and the debts are high,
And
you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When
care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest
if you must, but don't you quit.
Life
is queer with its twists and turns,
As
every one of us sometimes learns,
And
many a failure turns about,
When
she might have won if she'd stuck it out.
Don't
give up, though the pace seems slow -
You
may succeed with another blow.
Success
is failure turned inside out -
The
silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And
you never can tell how close you are -
It
may be near when it seems afar;
So
stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's
when things seem worst that you mustn't quit."

Have
a Great week Everyone- In spite of everything that is happening in
our world right now, if we just work with each other and give each
person a chance, we could accomplish a great deal as people. Its our
time to be positive and show enthusiasm.
