FIFTH SUNDAY OF LENT, March 21, 2010

TAKE TIME
Take time to THINK….
It is the source of power.
Take time to PLAY….
It is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to READ….
It is the fountain of wisdom
Take time to PRAY….
It is the greatest power on earth.
time to LOVE and BE LOVED….
It is a God-given privilege.
Take time to BE FRIENDLY….
It is the road to happiness.
Take time to LAUGH….
It is the music of the soul.
Take time to GIVE….
It is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to WORK….
It is the price of success.
Take time to DO CHARITY….
It is the key to heaven.
