There Is No Getting Around It...


Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Matt.5:5





No matter who we are
However great or small
There is no getting around it;
Pride goes before the fall

No matter who we are
However rich or poor
There is no getting around it;
God's promises endure

No matter who we are
Humble or full of pride
There is no getting around it
God's laws and love abide

Janet Martin
