“Age wrinkles the body.
Quitting wrinkles the soul.”
– Douglas MacArthur
Why things happen as they do
we do not always know,
And we cannot always fathom
why our spirits sink so low
We flounder in our dark distress;
we are wavering and unstable,
But when we’re most inadequate,
the Lord God’s always able –
For though we are incapable,
God’s powerful and great,
And there’s no darkness of the mind
God cannot penetrate…
And while he may not instantly
unravel all the strands
Of the tangled thoughts that trouble us,
He completely understands –
And in His time, if we have faith,
He will gradually restore
The brightness to our spirits
that we have been longing for…
So remember there’s no cloud too dark
For God’s light to penetrate
If we keep on believing
And have faith enough to wait.
– Helen Steiner Rice
“If youβre running a 26-mile marathon, remember that every mile is run one step at a time. If you are writing a book, do it one page at a time. If youβre trying to master a new language, try it one word at a time. There are 365 days in the average year. Divide any project by 365 and youβll find that no job is all that intimidating.”
– Charles Swindoll
