Children are a gift from The Lord; they are a reward from Him.  Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.  How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!   (Psalm 127 v 3, 4 &5)

Know that I am with you; I will protect you wherever you go, and bring you back to this land.  I will never leave you until I have done what I promised you.  (Genesis 28 V 15)

Don’t Quit!

Don’t quit is an inspirational poem that you will refer to whenever you’re a bit less motivated. It’s a great way to get back on track again whenever you’re feeling down, are in a rut or have a block of some kind on your road.
And remember: “Don’t quit!”

hen things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill
When the 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 quit.

ife is strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow —
You may succeed with another blow.

ften the goal is nearer than
It seems to a fair and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

uccess 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.

Words of Wisdom

My Child I Made You Different

 

Oh Lord I am so thankful
Each and every day
For loving me the way I am
Enough to gentle say

“My child I made you different
Than anyone else on earth,
So don’t compare your talents
With others to find worth.

“And when you fail or make mistakes,
I’m here to hold your hand,
To dust you off and dry your tears
And give you strength to stand.

“I have a plan and purpose
Designed for you alone.
My word will lead and guide you
Until I call you home.

“So do not be discouraged,
Have faith and trust in Me.
Abiding in My counsel,
I’ll meet you every need.”

So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat drink and enjoy life.  That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the sun.

Thought For Today

Those who love money will never have enough.  How meaningless to think that wealth brings happiness!  The more you have, the more people come to help you spend it.  So what good is wealth – except perhaps to watch it slip through your fingers!

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.  If you can help your neighbor now don’t say ”Come back tomorrow, and then I’ll help you”

Thought For Today

I have observed something else under the sun the fastest runner doesn’t always win the race and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle.  The wise sometimes go hungry and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives.  It is decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.  (proverbs chap. 9 V 11)
