Stick to your task ’til it sticks to you;

Beginners are many, but enders are few.

Honor, power, place and praise

Will always come to the one who stays.

Stick to your task ’til it sticks to you;

Bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it, too;

For out of the bend and the sweat and the smile

Will come life’s victories after a while.

Little drops of water

Little grains of sand

Make the mighty oceans

And the pleasant land.

Thus the little minutes

Humble though they be

Make the mighty ages

Of eternity.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;

fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

Poem: memorize this poem:

It Can Be Done

The man who misses all the fun

Is he who says, "It can't be done."

In solemn pride he stands aloof

And greets each venture with reproof.

Had he the power, he'd efface

The history of the human race;

We'd have no radio or motor cars,

No streets lit by electric stars;

No telegraph or telephone,

We'd linger in the age of stone.

The world would sleep if things were run

By men who say, "It can't be done."

Writing:   Make up a story about sailing with Christopher Columbus.  or living in Jamestown or any of the Colonies.   If you can, write it yourself.  If you need help, dictate it to a family member and they can write it.  Bring it to share.

Scripture: memorize the following scripture and reference. What does it mean to you? 

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;

and He shall direct thy paths.

fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

Proverbs 3: 5-7
