Making the Most of Life’s Opportunities
LIFE is in a great degree what we make it. We are not to sit passively awaiting the end of life. That will come in God's own good time; but we are to strive with a mighty strength of purpose to make ourselves examples of goodness, wisdom, integrity and high moral courage, so that when the end shall come we shall feel that we have not lived in vain. And how shall we succeed if we pass by, heedlessly, life's precious opportunities? We would not enforce upon our readers the necessity for grasping great opportunities alone, far from it; for do not the little drops of water make the broad, restless ocean? And where the desert but for the little grains of sand? So it is that little opportunities for doing good, little lessons that may at present seem unimportant, help materially to lay the foundation for a great and useful life.
