A lesson in PERSEVERANCE

A lesson in PERSEVERANCE

Have you ever observed the behaviour of birds in the face of adversity

For days and days they make their nests sometimes gathering materials brought from far away

And when they have completed the nest and are ready to lay eggs the weather or the work of humans or some animal destroys it and it falls to the ground all that they have done with so much effort

Do they stop bewildered and leave the work

No way they start over building the nest again and again until they have eggs in the nest again

Sometimes and very often before the chicks are hatched an animal a child or a storm destroys the nest once again but this time with all its valuable contents

It hurts to go back to begin again... Even so the birds do not ever stop they continue to sing and build and keep singing and building...

Do you sometimes get the feeling that your life your work your family is not what you had dreamed Do you sometimes want to say enough the effort is not worthwhile It is all too much for me

Are you tired of it all Do you feel that the daily struggle is a waste of tome your trust has been betrayed your goals not reached just as you were about to begin them

Life strikes you down sometimes but you do go on say a prayer put your faith in hope not darkness Do not worry if you get injured in the battle that is to be expected gather yourself together and rebuild your life so that it runs well again
