ENRICH YOUR LIFE

Life
A young man was relaxing on the sea shore by stretching himself out. A passer-by noticed and asked, “While everyone else is rushing around and working, why are you lying down doing nothing?”

“What is the use of working?”

“If you work you would get money…”

“And if I get money…”

“You get all the comforts of life…”

“If I get all the comforts…?”

“You can relax and remain idle!”

And the young man replied with a smile, “Well, right now, I am doing the same thing.”

Let Me Pray…

Let me pray not to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them.

Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.

Let me not look for allies in life’s battlefield, but to my own strength.

Let me crave not in anxious fear to be saved, but hope for the patience to win my freedom.

Grant me, O God, that I may not be a coward, feeling your mercy in my success alone; but let me find the grasp of your hand even in failure.
