Didache Reflection: Never Give Up

Just want to share this Didache reflection...Bigla ko tuloy naisip ung sangkatutak na dreams ko --sa personal ( I rather not divulge, personal nga eh! hehehe), sa career (passing that 4 crucial certification exams early next year), sa community ( just being able to serve). Lord, in all these dreams, let your will, not mine, be done.

==================================

NEVER GIVE UP

By: Benedict S.

By your endurance you will gain your lives. – Luke 21:19

One day, a laundry worker had a dream to be a writer. His supportive wife worked nights, typing his manuscripts and sending them to publishers. Each was rejected, even never read.
Finally, one publisher rejected a manuscript, but with the note that the writer should keep trying. So he forwarded two more manuscripts for the next 18 months, and as before, they were rejected. Money got so tight for the couple they had to disconnect their phone to buy meds for their baby.
The laundry worker got so discouraged, he threw his latest manuscript into the garbage. But his wife got it out from the trash and sent it one more time to the same publisher.
That book, Carrie, sold over 5 million copies, and as a movie, was top-grossing film of the year.
That laundry worker was Stephen King— who now writes one bestseller every three months!
My friend, do you have a dream?
Something you want to happen in your life?
Never give up.
No matter how many rejections you receive.

REFLECTION:
What dreams has God placed in your heart? Stir it to full flame.

Lord, give me the endurance I need to work until I reach the dreams You have assigned for my life.
