This could be your last night.H5414H2506H7651H8083H3045H7451H776 3When the clouds are full of water, it rains. When the wind blows down a tree, it lies where it falls.H5645H4390H1653H7324H776H6086H5307H1864H6828H4725H6086H5307H1933 4Don't sit there watching the wind. Do your own work.

Get on with your life.H8104H7307H2232H7200H5645H7114 5Just as you'll never understand the mystery of life forming in a pregnant woman, So you'll never understand the mystery at work in all that God does.H3045H1870H7307H6106H990H4392H3045H4639H430H6213 6Go to work in the morning and stick to it until evening without watching the clock.

Before the Years Take Their Toll

7Oh, how sweet the light of day, And how wonderful to live in the sunshine!H216H4966H2896H5869H7200H8121 8Even if you live a long time, don't take a single day for granted. Take delight in each light-filled hour, Remembering that there will also be many dark days And that most of what comes your way is smoke.H120H2421H7235H8141H8055H2142H3117H2822H7235H935H1892 9You who are young, make the most of your youth. Relish your youthful vigor. Follow the impulses of your heart. If something looks good to you, pursue it. But know also that not just anything goes; You have to answer to God for every last bit of it.H8055H970H3208H3820H2895H3117H979H1980H1870H3820H4758H5869H3045H430H935H4941 10Live footloose and fancy free— You won't be young forever. Youth lasts about as long as smoke.H5493H3708H3820H5674H7451H1320H3208H7839H1892
