And rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn't have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task;
"Why doesn't God help me?"
I wondered.
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
But the day toiled on gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, "But you didn't seek."
I used all my keys in the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knok."
And paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray
The Peace Prayer For World Peace
Thou Who art within and without, above and below and all around, Thou Who art interpenetrating the very cells of our beings, Thou Who art the Eye of our eyes, the Ear of our ears, the Heart of our hearts, the Mind of our minds, the Breath of our breaths, the Life of our lives and the Soul of our souls, Bless us, Dear God, to be aware of Thy Presence, now and here. This is all that we ask of Thee.
A Winner's Creed
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you'd like to win, but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a person's faith;
It's all in the state of mind.
to the stronger or faster hand;
They go to the one who trusts in God
And always thinks "I can."
nothing is lost;
If health is lost,
something is lost;
If character is lost,
everything is lost.
