Only God Can Shape A Flower, But

Welcome Every Morning With A Smile. Look On The New Day As Another Special Gift From Your Creator, Another Golden Opportunity To Complete What You Were Unable To Finish Yesterday.

Never Allow Anyone To Rain On Your Parade And Thus Cast A Pall Of Gloom And Defeat On The Entire Day. Remember That No Talent, No Self-denial, No Brains, No Character, Are Required To Set Up In The Fault-finding Business. Nothing External Can Have Any Power Over You Unless You Permit It. Your Time Is Too Precious To Be Sacrificed In Wasted Days Combating The Menial Forces Of Hate, Jealously, And Envy. Guard Your Fragile Life Carefully. Only God Can Shape A Flower, But Any Foolish Child Can Pull It To Pieces.

To Do Anything Truly Worth Doing, I Must Not Stand Back Shivering And Thinking Of The Cold And Danger, But Jump In With Gusto And Scramble Through As Well As I Can.

Always Reward Your Long Hours Of Labor And Toil In The Very Best Way, Surrounded By Your Family. Nurture Their Love Carefully, Remembering That Your Children Need Models, Not Critics, And Your Own Progress Will Hasten When You Constantly Strive To Present Your Best Side To Your Children. And Even If You Have Failed At All Else In The Eyes Of The World, If You Have A Loving Family, You Are A Success.

I Will Greet This Day With Love In My Heart. And How Will I Do This? Henceforth Will I Look On All Things With Love And Be Born Again. I Will Love The Sun For It Warms My Bones; Yet I Will Love The Rain For It Cleanses My Spirit. I Will Love The Light For It Shows Me The Way; Yet I Will Love The Darkness For It Shows Me The Stars. I Will Welcome Happiness As It Enlarges My Heart; Yet I Will Endure Sadness For It Opens My Soul. I Will Acknowledge Rewards For They Are My Due; Yet I Will Welcome Obstacles For They Are My Challenge.
