Nov. 27, 2006 - Don't Quit
For the last year or so there have been 7 girls and I from church meeting together on Tuesday nights for what started out as Bible Study, while we've done many studies there have been many times where we are just there to support each other because something major has happened in one of our lives and we need to be there for each other. It has been a very rewarding set of friendships for me and important for me to get out of the house once a week to focus on me or in many cases focus me on someone else. Well tomorrow night is Tuesday again....and one of the girls is having a really hard time so we're all going to bring something inspirational for her. Here is the poem I found that I plan on bringing tomorrow. (it has no authors name with it so I'm not sure who to give credit for it)
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.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never 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 go wrong that you mustn't quit.
