Don't let what you can't do interfere with what you can do.

There are parts of a ship which taken by themselves would sink.  The engine would sink.  The propeller would sink.  But when the parts of a ship are built together, they float.  So with the events of my life.  Some have been tragic.  Some have been happy.  But when they are built together, they form a craft that floats and is going someplace.  And I am comforted.

Ralph W. Sockman

Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.
Theodore Isaac Rubin

A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her.  

Psalms 75:6

Dear Lord, Thank you for the promise of Your word.  Help me to always do my best remembering that there are things I can't do. When I face challenges that leave me breathless, let me lean on you. When I hesitate to take the next step, give me a gentle nudge to get me going. Help me to always remember that when I face a road block, you will show me the way and tell me what I can do.  Amen
