PERSEVERANCE
The idea of perseverance is an important component in athletics, the military, studies, and even in religion. Perseverance is the master key, the secret of success when you are in the middle of the struggle. It is that extra, the second air, the capacity to overcome the discouragement. Our society is making a lot of progress. We have technology and facilities that no one in history ever had before. The new generations can grow up today more healthy, and live longer. But we do have an Achilles' heel: the absence of the spirit of perseverance. A young man enthusiastically joined the military yesterday; he wants to resign today. A student goes to college with a lot of promises to herself; three months down the road, she withdraws from those studies. A couple got married today; a year later they file for divorce. The scriptures cover the importance of perseverance. It was Jesus who said, "Because of the increase of our wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved" (Matthew 24:12-13). We receive hope and courage through these words. It may be hard, but to love when others hate, make peace and justice when others cause fights and unhappiness, build when others destroy, is "standing firm." In every task, where we practice consistency and perseverance, we will see the good fruit of our sacrifice. And at the end of the final chapter of the book of our life, we will fully understand what Jesus meant through his words, "But he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Good evening, Kathy!
*HUGS*
A Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours! Thanks very much for tonight's Sunday Chapel thread - without perseverance there is little of any good accomplished. In line with tonight's lesson, I offer the following:
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS!
Never give in, never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never Yield to a force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
Sir Winston S. Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, DL, FRS, Hon. RA (30 November 1874 24 January 1965)

A Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours! The Kenyan-in-Chief owes an apology not to Karzai, but to every man and woman who has ever worn the uniform of this great Nation! Can't say more than that - I'm an observing Christian.

Good evening and a Blessed Lord’s Day to the MacNessa family. *HUGS*
Perseverance....that Churchill speech preached the same.
Thanks for that.
Did you have to work all day?
Any time yet in the garden, directing sons in proper garden work?

Worked until 2:30 - then a couple of errands - sallied forth to buy a used dresser off Craig's List - then deployed with Son No. 3 to Sam's Club for some provisions. Made it home at about 6:30 and cooked some Chicken Fajitas for Mrs. MacNessa and I - an excellent repast!
Haven't been able to make it into the garden yet - a lot of clean-up to do.
What kind of day have you had?
