"Don't Quit" poem rewritten

Edgar Guest wrote the poem "Don't Quit" many years ago.  Since this poem is now in the public domain, I have edited it into a christian version:

Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill,
When it feels that God's Hand is sitting still,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you feel you must sigh,
When it feels that God is nowhere nigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit,
And, you feel you are about to have a fit,
Rest in the Lord, and don't quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
But, when you are through and feel spurned,
Remember a supposed failure could have turned,,
And you could have won, had you stuck it out,
If you'd just trusted God with never a doubt.
So, don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow,
Then, God's goodness you will know.

Success is failure turned inside out,
Don't let the silver tint of the clouds of doubt
Tempt you to faint and feel there's no way out.
For, you never can tell how close you are,
The answer to prayer may not be away so far.
Stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things get worse, that on God you must not quit.

For there is a Mighty, righteous right Hand,
That moves on your behalf if firmly you stand,
If you would  not be weary in well-doing,
And stay firm to the task that God said to continue pursuing,
If you would be still and know that He is God,
And trust Him in time to make soft the hard.
Stick to the fight, your sins to God admit,
But, in all you are tempted to do, don't you ever on God quit..

Major Blessing from the Lord Today!!!

     Most know by now that my husband has been out of work for soon-to-be FIVE months!!  This means that we have NO health insurance, which also means that we have to pay for our prescriptions OUT-OF-POCKET!  He is on insulin and other meds, and I am on meds for high blood pressure.  I only had TWO pills left, and started to panic because I needed more medications and funds were low. 
     I went to prayer and prayed Philippians 4:19 over my situation:  "For my God shall supply all of your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."  I asked the Lord to provide for the medications according to this verse.  What He did was more than amazing!!
     To make a long story short, I ended up finding out from my doctors's office that I could come in and pick up THREE weeks of free medication, and if I still need more later, they would continue to provide it.  Only God could have seen to it that I found out about this, as I did not know that my doctor did this.  I was content to find out that I could get the same med in generic form for only $30 for a three-month supply, as compared to having to pay $315 otherwise, yet another piece of info that the Lord saw to it that I found out about.  Needless to say, I was greatly blessed by the Lord's provision for me this day! To God be the glory!!

Creating a thankfulness journal

     One of the things I have found very helpful is having a thankfulness/gratefulness journal.  Journaling all of the blessings of each day is great for helping one keep focus on the many blessings of God, some of which we easily take for granted.  O, to be content only with food and raiment, however.  When you know that you are going to journal your blessings, it even seems to help you to be on the lookout for them.  For example, Rachel is off today.  For her to come here, and spend hours with us is a great blessing to me, because there are hundred and one other things that she could choose to do.  Definitely going in my gratefulness journal.  Praise the Lord.
