“Take Time…”
Take time to pray… it helps to bring God near and washes the dust of earth from your eyes.
Take time for friends… they are the source of happiness.
Take time for work… it is the price of success.
Take time to think… it is the source of power.
Take time to read… it is the foundation of knowledge.
Take time to laugh… it is the singing that helps with life’s loads.
Take time to love… it is the one sacrament of life.
Take time to dream… it hitches the soul to the stars.
Take time to play… it is the secret of youth.
Take time to worship… it is the highway to reverence.
