👊 Today’s Power Thought ~ Keep On Learning
Living doesn’t come with a textbook or a self-help book. Each day is a new learning experience. Don’t give up. Don’t quit. Keep on learning. Learn from setbacks. Learn from failures. Keep on moving ahead.
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Wonder
Wonder
Robert William Service
For failure I was well equipped
And should have come to grief,
By atavism grimly gripped,
A fool beyond belief.
But lo! the Lord was good to me,
And with a heart to sing,
He gave me to a rare degree
The Gift of Wondering.
I could not play a stalwart part
My shoddy soul to save,
And should have gone with broken heart
A begger to the grave;
But praise to my anointed sight
As wandering I went,
I sang of living with delight
In terms of Wonderment.
Aye, starry-eyed did I rejoice
With marvel of a child,
And there were those who heard my voice
Although my words were wild:
So as I go my wistful way,
With worship let me sing,
A treasure to my farewell day
God’s Gift of Wondering.
