Why You Should Never, never, never give up!


Ever feel like you’ll run out of time before you accomplish all your dreams and plans? Before you give up, you may want to read these stats:
  • Colonel Harland Sanders was 65 when he launched his Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise business;
  • Grandma Moses was 78 when she began oil painting;
  • Laura Ingalls Wilder was 65 when she started writing her Little House on the Prairie series;
  • And Myrrha Stanford-Smith, an 82-year-old teacher, landed a 3-book deal for her fictional accounts of William Shakespeare. Read about it here.
Makes you want to go out and skip some rope, doesn’t it?

Please don't give up on your dreams.

God hasn't.

Follow Him; He'll lead you to the fulfillment of all your dreams,
and more. 
 
"Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4).  
 
 
What dreams are you holding in your heart today?

    "Grandma Moses was 78 when she began oil painting..."

    Wow! I did not know that! Also, wasn't the original Moses close to 80 when he led his people out of Egypt?

    "Laura Ingalls Wilder was 65 when she started writing her Little House on the Prairie series..."

    WOW!! Ok, that gives me hope.

    Thanks, Jeanette!

      Sandi: Yes, Moses was 80 and herding sheep in the desert when God said, "Go now to Pharaoh..."
      Wow, indeed!
      Thanks for your comment,
