WITandWISDOM(tm) - December 18, 2001 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: "If you hear a different drummer, take a chance. The road you choose to travel means the difference in the dance." - Daniel Morgan Source: Quotes From The Masters, http://mailroom.dailyinbox.com/ Subjects: Goals, Occupations, Mission ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: THE UNKNOWN WORKMAN By Henry B. Knox He was a humble workman With the tools with which he wrought And he built a common stable, Or so it was, he thought! And he fashioned there a manger Where the cattle could be fed, Never thinking that the Savior Would pillow there His head. He had only built a stable With a manger in the stall, Yet it cradled there the Christ-child, Who is King and Lord of all! So although our task be humble, Let us work each day with care; For we may not know God's purpose, Or why He placed us there.
