HAVE FAITH                                           

When the road is an uphill climb
And the daily struggle gets to feeling too rough
Just keep going one step at a time
Grateful for the journey even though it is tough.

For it’s not the success that measures a man,
Nor taking the easy road at every turn.
The pitfalls along the way are part of God’s master plan
To help us appreciate, to grow, and to learn.

This life is a gift to cherish and treasure
You should embrace the challenges
Every step of the way,
Be thankful God loves us beyond measure.

Delight in your adversity
And the challenge that it brings.
For achieving the unreachable
Has turned shepherds into kings.

God gives us discipline,
As a loving Father teaches his sons
It builds character
And gives you strength to carry on,
To have faith in yourself,
Which was God’s plan all along.

Instructions:

E-Mail: If you want to send this to another friend, (and please feel free to do so!) simply right click on the url you will see up there on the tool bar at the top of the page, and copy it.  Then paste it into an e-mail to your friend, inviting them to come see this page, that you have a special message you want them to see!  This is the easiest way to send this page to someone else.

Send the link: With Internet Explorer, on your toolbar, at the top of the page, click on "file", then "send" and select "send link by e-mail" It works pretty much the same with Netscape, too...   Don't select "send PAGE by e-mail", by the way, as it will then insert the entire page into your e-mail letter, and the graphics won't show up on the other end... and it will be annoying...  Just send the link.

ICQ: On ICQ it's even easier!   Simply open up your ICQ console, with this site open as well, and click on the name of someone on your contact list and then click on  where is says "Webpage Address (URL)", and the address will be sent to them automatically!  You can also click on the little "more" button, and send this page to more than one user, all at the same time, through ICQ! (Fun, isn't it?)

Web TV: If you are a webTV user and all you do is hit OPTIONS while you have this page open, then put the box around SEND and key in e-mail address you want to send it to, and hit SEND.
