I'm with you on this one Clif. It's so easy to give up but it's all a matter of perspective. My husband talks about this when he's doing his entrepreneurial pursuits.
ReplyDeleteClif,
ReplyDeleteI agree with all these wonderful quotes, my favorite is that when each day ends if we have made some mistakes, God gives us a bright new day tomorrow, ready to start all over again.

I was just thinking about "perseverance" for my post today until it leaned more about "peace" from knowing Him. I guess the Lord is reassuring us, despite the ordeals we all go through, we must persevere for doing so, there is something beautiful that comes after that. God bless. Have a great weekend to you and sister Charlotte.
