A TIMELY QUOTE

These words seem appropriate at this time. ‘I vow to thee my country, all earthly things above. Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love. The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, that lays upon the altar, the dearest and the best. The love that never falters, the love that pays the price, the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.' ‘Oh God of earth and altar, bow down and hear our cry, our earthly rulers falter, our people drift and die. From all that terror teaches, from lies of tongue and pen. From all the easy speeches that comfort cruel men. From sleep and from damnation, deliver us, Good Lord.' These words will help as we go through what seems like the darkest hours we have experienced in recent times, as we grind through stress and other frustrating situations. These also help us to develop endurance which in turn builds up strength of character.when life is going well too, we must say these words and beware of self deception. Pride will take us where we do not want to go, only humility at all times takes us where we ought to be.
