~ 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 Queer 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 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 your hardest hit
Its when things seem worst that you must not Quit .

HOPE
So I tell you to believe that you have received the things you ask for in prayer, and God will give them to you.
~Mark 11:24~
You're never defeated, never beaten down as long as you have hope. Keep this thought in mind always as difficulties, sorrow, sickness and trouble come upon you. Have you heard that old saying that where there is life, there is hope? I suggest you turn it around: Where there is hope, there is life. Form a picture in your mind, not of lack or denial or frustration or illness, but of prosperity, abundance, attainment, health. You will receive as a result of prayer exactly what you think, not what you say. Therefore, practice believing even as you pray that you will receive God's boundless blessings - that they are already on their way to you. When you live with hope in your heart, in your mind and in your spirit, you have discovered one of life's most powerful secrets.
Norman Vincent Peale

An Irish American Thought.
Fields of Green, eyes laughing and bright bring back sweet memories of an Irish Delight.
Thoughts of the emerald Isle ~ I fondly recall, pubs full of laughter, cheers and all.
Where Irish characters would coax you along, with a friendly nudge or a traditional song - to enjoy the ~ black stuff ~ relax and smile, listening to Irish legends or stories for a while.
A friendly Folk the Irish remain, No stress, No past history would retain, their strength in spirit for they stand tall ~ Remembering the most Important things of all ~
Be strong, Be proud, Be awash with glee ~ But most of all ~ Be Irish and Free.

A Sweet Lesson In Humanity..
Years Ago, A 10-Year-Old boy approached the counter of a soda shop and climbed on to a stool.
" What does an ice cream sundae cost?" he asked the waitress.
"Fifty cents," she answered. The youngster reached deep in his pockets and pulled out an assortment of change, counting it carefully as the waitress grew impatient. She had "bigger" customers to wait on.
"Well, how much would just plain ice cream be?" the boy asked.
The waitress responded with noticeable irritation in her voice, "Thirty-Five cents."
Again, the boy slowly counted his money. "May I have some plain ice cream in a dish then, please?" He gave the waitress the correct amount, and she brought him the ice cream.
Later, the waitress returned to clear the boy's dish and when she picked it up, she felt a lump in herin her throat. There on the counter the boy had left two nickels and five pennies.She realized that he had had enough money for the sundae, but sacrificed it so that he couldleave her a tip.

Not All Who Wander Are Lost!
J.R.R. Tolkien
A friend is one to whom you may pour all the contents of your heart, chaff and grain together-knowing that the gentlest of hearts will take and sift it, keeping what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness and love blow the rest away.
