Brighten the Corner Where You Are

Brighten the Corner Where You Are

We cannot all be famous
or be listed in “Who’s Who ,”
But every person great or small
has important work to do ,
For seldom do we realize
the importance of small deeds
Or to what degree of greatness
unnoticed kindness leads
For it’s not the big celebrity
in a world of fame and praise ,
But it’s doing unpretentiously
in undistinguished ways
The work that God assigned to us ,
unimportant as it seems,
That makes our task outstanding
and brings reality to dreams .
So do not sit and idly wish
for wider , new dimensions
Where you can put in practice
your many good intentions ,
But at the spot God placed you ,
begin at once to do
Little things to brighten up
the lives surrounding you ,
For if everybody brightened up
the spot on which they’re standing
By being more considerate
and a little less demanding ,
This dark old world would very soon
eclipse the evening star
If everybody brightened up
the corner where they are !

Last night I sat listening to my youngest son preach ,
And thought ,I am truly blessed among men and proud father .
When you feel down and out God has HIS way of pick you up !
Father God , Thank you for my two sons , My mother ,my sister and all my great friends !!
