• since I’m big on quotes, this is the….. QUOTE OF THE WEEK

   

  
  

  “Must life be considered a
  failure
  for someone compelled to stand still,
  forced into inaction,
  and required to watch the great,
  roaring tides of life from shore?
  No – VICTORY is then to be won
  by standing still and quietly waiting.
  Yet this is a thousand times hard to do then
  in the past, when you rushed headlong
  into the busyness of life.
  It requires much more courage
  to stand still and wait and still not
  lose heart or lose hope, to submit to the
  will of God, to give up opportunities
  for work and leave honor to others, and to
  be quiet, confident, and rejoicing
  while the busy multitude
  goes happily along their way.”
