Take Time Out For Ten Things

Take time out to work ~
It is the price of success.

Take time out to think ~
It is the source of power.

Take time out to play ~
It is the secret of youth.

Take time out to read ~
It is the foundation of knowledge.

Take time out to worship ~
It is the highway of reverence.

Take time out to help and enjoy friends ~
This is the source of happiness.

Take time out to love ~
It is the one sacrament of life.

Take time out to dream ~
It hitches the soul to the stars.

Take time out to laugh ~
It is the singing that eases life’s load.

Take time out to pray ~
It helps bring Christ near and washes the
dust of earth from our eyes.
