In this era of instant gratification
And presumed recompense
We seem to discredit
Humble diligence
Its pay-off is patient
Its battle is long
Yet, in its commitment
The weak become strong
We ought not to grow weary
In doing our best
For only the diligent
Truly pass life’s test

The lesson I taught to Grades 5&6 this past Sunday in
Sunday School was on diligence. It spoke to me on so many levels.
Indeed thank-you. Sommer brought that word up at the supper table the other night...(she ran to check what it was again:)
ReplyDeleteGood for Sommer:) I've been thinking about it a lot too.
