THINK BIG!!! Don't limit self!
Think outside the box!
Do not fear the pitfalls,
In this School of Hard Knocks!

Bravely go about your life,
In the faith that you'll prevail.
Trust in God and in yourself,
Then you shall win ~ not fail!

With eyes and heart wide open,
You will rise to each occasion,
Learning lessons as you go,
By doing ~ not evasion!

How very true, the words of wisdom you have written will guide the good against the evil, for good always wins over evil, Thoose whome seek control over others and belive they have powers should stop and think that the good have a power higher than they.

Trusting and doing, perfect combination!
Thank you! This sounds so very good. It should be diffused in schools ... and not only there!

Marti ~

I don't want to freak you out or anything, but I was in the kitchen making some "angel" eggs, when I kept hearing in my ear "outside the box"! What the dickens was that all about, I wondered. I found myself heading for the living room and as I turned on the TV I heard a reporter state, "outside the box"! I then abandoned my culinary task and wrote the above poem! I get divinely guided to write these pearls ~ and I learn from reading them as well!

Now, regarding your reply, I can well imagine that you are tired!--given what you and your loved ones have been going through!  Things have been topsy-turvy in your world for some time now, and you have had no reprieve! It has been one thing, then along comes another! You certainly have been being tested, my dear friend.

I am happy to hear that Beth is on the mend!--but afterall, she has her angel nurse Mom in loving attendance!

Loving hugs,
Linda
P.S. ~ and wasn't that some humdinger of a Halloween joyride on my souped-up broomstick?!? You were a blastin' great witchy companion!
