Thought for the Day 8/9/2019
Friday Tale: Don't
QUIT!!
When 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 you quit.
Life is queer with
its twists and its turns,
As everyone of us
sometimes learns,
And many a failure
turns about
When they might have
won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though
the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with
another blow.
Often the goal is
nearer than,
It seems to a faint
and faltering man,
Often the struggler
has given up
When he might have
captured the victor's cup;
And he learned too
late when the night came down,
How close he was to
the golden crown.
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 so far;
So stick to the
fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things
seem worst that you must not quit!
~ John Greenleaf
Whittier
You too, must be patient.
Don't give up home.
The Lord will soon be here.
~ James 5:8 (GW)
