My Old Bible  

 

Though the cover is worn

And the pages are torn

And though places bear traces of tears,

Yet more precious than gold

Is this Book worn and old

That can shatter and scatter my fears.

 

This old Book is my guide,

'Tis a friend by my side,

It will lighten and brighten my day;

And each promise I find

Soothes and gladdens the mind

As I read it and heed it each day.

 

To this Book I will cling,

Of its worth I will sing,

Though great losses and crosses be mine;

For I cannot despair

Though surrounded by care

While possessing this blessing Divine.

 

 

Lessons Of Failure  

 

Lord, are you trying to tell me something?
For...

 

Failure does not mean I'm a failure;
It only means that I have not yet succeeded.

 

Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing;
It does mean I have learned something.

 

Failure does not mean I have been a fool;
It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.

 

Failure does not mean I have disgraced;
It does mean I have dared to try.

 

Failure does not mean I don't have it;
It does mean I have something to do in a different way.

 

Failure does not mean I am inferior;
It does mean I am not perfect.

 

Failure does not mean I have wasted my life;
It does mean that I have an excuse to start over.

 

Failure does not mean that I should give up;
It does mean that I should try harder.

 

Failure does not mean that I will never make it;
It does mean that I need more practice.

 

Failure does not mean that you have abandoned me;
It does mean that you must have a better idea

 

Thank You, Lord,
for helping me to be a better person!

 

 

Have a Blessed Day

Dave and Barbara
