Stepping Stones

In everything, be patient, For good shall follow bad.

And in time, you won't remember most problems that you had.

In everything, show kindness for others' great concerns,

And, my friend, it will amaze you ... How great are your returns!

In everything, be willing to learn, endure and grow.

For a candle that's unlighted cannot begin to glow!

In everything, show courage.

For courage conquers fear, and fear can cloud our judgment.

When storms of life appear ...

In everything, be thankful.

For each path we must trod, shall become a stepping-stone

Which leads the soul to God!
