“You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him,” is on the list of church signs someone sent me a long time ago.

I was reminded of that this morning, but I would not say that I was all that discouraged.

Today I am reading about a Maori lady in our local paper, The Northern News, Tuesday, June 2, 2015, who refuses to give in. She is also not listening to people who say that things are impossible to do and she is not giving up!

She was named a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the Queens Birthday honors in recognition of her work for others.

Success & Failure

“If you have success, give the glory to God. But if you feel you have failed, don’t give up!”

That’s what a Bible College Principal included in his address to the graduates many years ago.
