Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires, but
according to our powers.
--Amiel.
How good is man's life, the mere living! how fit to employ
All the heart and the soul and the senses for ever in joy!
--Robert Browning.
Do something! No man is born with a mortgage on his soul; but every
man is born a debtor to Time. Meet this obligation before you find
too late that your life is impoverished and you cannot redeem it.
--M.B.S.
Let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that
he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.
--Ephesians 4. 28.
My Father, what I have left out of my life I know I cannot recover
now. I pray that I may give the best to what is left. Make me
deliberate, that I may prove my earnestness. Make me industrious, that
I may use my best resources to develop my life and further thy
kingdom. Amen.
