When is enough, "Enough?"
And who am I to decide?
If enough means it's over--
Then tell me why haven't I died?

When should I say, "That's it!
I'm weary of Life's toilsome load?"
At what point should I stop trying--
And all my efforts withhold?

Am I quitting too soon
When God would have me go on?
Have I mistaken for twilight--
What could well be a new dawn?

O LORD, give me the Wisdom
And the Patience to just follow through,
Knowing that me, You'll strengthen
As I humble myself to You.

Let me not be a quitter
But let You determine my end,
Seeing my life goes the distance--
Hand in Hand, walking with my True Friend!

Every Day's a Blessing
And Gift-Wrapped from Above,
Share it with another
And Spread the Father's Love!!!

May You come to Know His Best Blessing

David: Good questions and I guess we never can quit trying? What alternative is there?

I can't see you giving up, but we all have these days. Joyce

Dear David; I know this feeling well! You have only to say "The Perfect Prayer"...."Thy Will be done, not mine, Lord"..I've heard it said that just when we want to give up, that is the time when He is about to give us his greatest blessings! You know that I have been there for you when times have been tough, as you have been for me over our long friendship, so i am here now to talk anytime! I belive in you and the incredibly good person you are! Love, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

He knows, but we can only throw up our hands...in surrender. Which is much different than quitting. He will take hold. Especially because he knows you David. The hard part is hanging on. That's where others come in at. To lift you up in prayer. May your step be lighter today, may your hold be tight.

Sincerely,
Regina

There is never enough love out there. Don't punch the time card OUT just yet, you still have your share of love to hand out.
