RISE AND SHINE! (OT)

" RISE AND SHINE "

It's so easy to be anxious when you feel you're down and out,

and the problem is much harder when the cause-- is fear and doubt!

But it's not the fall that hurts you, it's the getting up that counts;

not the misery when you wallow, but the spring that's in your bounce!

It's not the way you spend your money nor how much you need to save,

but the honest way you earned it and the charity you gave.

'Tis not the fear that seems to rob you nor the doubt that lies within;

but undying faith God gave you- to share it with a friend!
