The easy roads are crowded,
And the level roads are jammed;
The pleasant little rivers
With the drifting folks are crammed.
But off yonder where it’s rocky,
Where you get a better view,
You will find the ranks are thinning
And the travelers are few.

Never take life for granted
Whatever comes your way,
Just grasp it in both hands
And enjoy it every day.

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.

Speak gently. It is better by far
to rule by love than fear.
Speak gently. Let no harsh word mar
the good you may do here.

I asked GOD, “Is my work done,
I’m getting kind of tired?”
HE answered, “No my son, it’s not all done,
I’ll tell you when you’re fired.”

Life is a miracle
Don’t let it slip away,
Open your heart to others
Give of yourself each day.

If we would have a life to live,
Then we must learn to forgive.
We say we will, but then we don’t.
We think to fool God, but we won’t.
Forgiving is so hard to do,
But look what grudges do to you.
Pray, don’t find fault with the man that limps
Or stumbles along the road.
Unless you have worn the shoes he wears
Or struggled beneath his load. (more…)
God has a purpose for you,
You may not know what it is right now
But He has something He wants you to do
And God is the Master, and how,
—
Life is too short for grievances,
For quarrels and for tears,
What’s the use of wasting
Precious days and precious tears.
