Chaplain's Message

Unfinished Business

In baseball, victory is determined not by hits but by runs. The player who gets to third base and no further doesn't get credit for three-quarters of a run.

It's that way with a task. Getting started is fine, and carrying it forward is fine, but until the task is completed you haven't done what you set out to do. 

Yet many people form the habit of "working for awhile" on a project, then setting it aside, kidding themselves into thinking that they have accomplished something. All they are doing is leaving men stranded on base! 

Edwin C. Bliss

17) Galatians 6:9

"And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up."

There is great joy in persevering and completing the task - and we know instinctively when the task, job, challenge is complete. With completion comes a sense of peace and often the harder the task the greater the sense of satisfaction! And we do indeed reap what we sow! Happy planting!! 

Go safely!
