Special Ingredients for Living

  • Enough happiness to keep you sweet
  • Enough trials to keep you strong
  • Enough sorrows to keep you human
  • Enough hope to keep you happy
  • Enough failure to keep you humble
  • Enough success to keep you eager
  • Enough friends to give you comfort
  • Enough wealth to meet your needs
  • Enough enthusiasm to look forward
  • Enough faith to banish depression
  • Enough determination to make each day a better day than yesterday.

Thanks to a new friend, Josie, for sending this to me. How many of us wish for trials, sorrows and failure and yet they are very necessary for building character as we journey through life. There is a lot in this little verse to meditate on. I hope you spend sometime, here today, thinking on these things. God bless.
