From the book:
Whispers of Promise
To appreciate beauty;
to find the best in others;
to give one’s self;
to leave the world a little better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition;
to have played and laughed with enthusiasm,
and sung with exultation;
to know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived…this is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emmerson

Lord help us to know that whatever we do
to help others or our world is valuable and not wasted effort.
Thank you God for a new awareness of ‘success.’
