What’s Cooking (Oct. 9, 2003)

In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowing glory
of the year, bringing us the fruition of months
of thought and care and toil. And at no season,
safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such
superb colour effects as from August to
November.

THOUGHTS
The Joy of life lies in the work of today and in the plans for the work of tomorrow.

There are no hopeless situations —only there are men who have become hopeless.

“Never be afraid to admit that you were wrong, for it is equal to saying that you are wiser today than you were yesterday.”

We cannot know the future, but we can know the God who holds the future.
