THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Listen to the words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, great America poet: Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime. And, departing, leave behind us footprints in the sands of time. That’s an excellent thought… one worth remembering. “We can make our lives sublime.” The word sublime means excellent… grand! Each one of us is capable of creating an excellent life. One way we can do this is by remembering the great men and women who have gone before us.
So today, think about this: As you walk through life, you leave your own special and absolutely unrepeatable footprints in the sands of time. The question is, in whose footsteps are you following?
