Thanks, it just feels like a lovely morning, needed something nice.

I read an interesting letter from a friend from the service and he pointed out something worth remembering,

“Today we throw the dice and see what fate brings us
Today we venture forth and dare to try, even in our fear
Today we’ll be tested, and we will win for we’ve tried
and we will take tomorrow as God gives it to us”

This was from a hand lettered sign on our Hooch in Nam. A guy from Louisiana (son of a evangelist preacher) had put it there as a reminder to himself and we came to keep that as a reminder for ourselves. Take the day and make it yours! Try, and you’ve done all you can to win.
And remember that God is always there beside you.

That small lesson from 40 years ago still is worth sharing.
