So Simple

My sister and I were conversing yesterday and began discussing Anthony and his prayers. Anthony can pray and his concern for people show in those prayers. As his mother, I can honestly say that some of his prayers have made me feel guilty.

Well, my sister was telling me how Laila (my niece) told them that she did not want to pray that night. That really disturbed Anthony, so he began to question why she would not want to pray. Laila only being 3, could not freely express why, just that she didn’t want to. Anthony just did not understand this idea and said to Laila “Why would you not want to pray. It is good for you. Don’t you want something that is good for you?”

So simply put and so right.

I don't know the author, but I really like the quote

Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage.

The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage and risk-taking.

Learn from the turtle, it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck.
