“DON’T QUIT”
.
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
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 odd with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns
And many a failure 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.
(~)~(~)~(~)
Success is failure turned inside out,

Midwife delivers career switch at 45
Published: Monday | March 16, 2009
..
If life begins at 40, as is the mantra of the archetypal career woman, Verona Grant-Brissett strapped up to get in the game just after the opening whistle had blown.
..
But time has never been on her side.
..
A topsy-turvy life from serving as a pre-teen surrogate mother and cleaning floors to survive meant sacrificing her dreams early on. Later, Grant-Brissett was told she was too old to don her whites and become a nurse. Guess who’s laughing now?

American President John Quincy Adams once said, “Patience and
perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear
and obstacles vanish.” Have you ever witnessed the magical effect of
patience and perseverance?One North Carolina church wanted to purchase some property. The church
regularly suffered from high tide flooding. But when the church was
built over a hundred years ago, they couldn’t afford better property.
As the story is told, they finally decided to relocate to higher
ground. An ideal lot was empty — actually the highest ground in town.
It belonged to a man named Sam. Officials from the church went to see
Sam about selling the property. He politely told them it wasn’t for
sale; that he had other plans for the land.

Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little
bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.

Today’s Hearty Meal Of Truth
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (1 Cor 13 v. 4-8)
