Taking Inventory
If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun, be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail -–
Be the best of whatever you are!
Great things sometimes come from obscure
sources, such as this item from the Senatobia,
MS church bulletin. It is titled
"RULES FOR
DAILY LIFE:"
Begin the day with God:
Kneel down to Him in prayer:
Lift up thy heart to His abode
And seek His love to share.
Open the Book of God,
And read a portion there
That it may hallow all thy thoughts
And sweeten all thy care.
Go through the day with God,
What'er thy work may be:
Where'er thou art -- at home, abroad -–
He still is near to thee.
Converse in mind with God,
Thy spirit heavenward raise:
Acknowledge every good bestowed
And offer grateful praise.
