Let's Persevere

​Perseverance is trying and trying,
And trying again each day;
E'en through failures and disappointment
Come thick and fast our way.

But if we press on with a purpose
That is always steadfast and true,
With the "star of hope" to guide us
And the goal kept ever in view,
We will surely at last attain to the height
That belongs to those who try to do right;

So let us, then
With a song in our hearts,
And on our lips a cheer,
Adopt for life's slogan -
"Let's Persevere."

---  F. M. O'Rouke

Hope Keeps Us Going

Hope keeps us going
even when the answers are not knowing.
No matter what is going on
Hope can let us look forward to the new dawn.

The saying "this too shall pass"
Gives us hope in mass.
Life is full of ups and downs
We must keep hope and not frown.

Hope for better days
Is a good prayer to pray.
Focus on your blessings
Don't just sit and be stressing.

Never lose your hope
Hoping and action lets you cope.
Having hope helps live move on
By focusing on the good, your problems will be gone.

​--- Kate Summers

What matters is that we never lose hope, never stop fighting for what we believe in, and always be open to change.

God is bigger than time,
dates, and appointments.
He wants you to move
through this day with a quiet heart,
an inward assurance that
He is in control, a peaceful certainty
that your life is in His hands,
a deep trust in His plan and purposes,
and a thankful disposition,
toward all that He allows.
He wants you to put your faith in Him,
not in a timetable.
He wants you to wait on Him
and wait for Him.
In His perfect way He will put everything
together, see to every detail...
arrange every circumstance...
and order every step to bring
to pass what He has for you.
