Never Quit


"Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.”

Great thought...Oh my...if I could name all the times I have made mistakes or been knocked down. The great thing is that I can also name all that I have learned from those mistakes...I am what I am today from all that I learned during those times.

Have Happy Thanksgiving if I don't talk to you before! :o)
Love,
Frances

Frances,
I can't even count the times I've fallen, many in public and many in private - but in every instance, He has been there to help me get back up and keep moving toward Him. Our Lord is Great. You and yours have a wonderful Thanksgiving too. Love you.

Seems to me I heard a devotion back in my TTCS days where the it was said, " I am never down. I either up, or getting up!" Hummmm wonder where that came from??? sniker

You listened!!! And how many times I've had to listen to my own words but you know, I've always gotten up.
