A THOUGHT
Faithfulness in little things is a big thing.
PRAYER
Dear God, in the battle that goes on in life,
I ask for a field that is fair.
A chance that is equal in all of the strife,
A chance to do and to dare.
And if I should win, let it be by the code,
With my heart and my head held high;
But if I should lose, let me stand by the road,
And cheer as the winners go by.
