KEEP THE VISION <\/p>\n

Life sometimes throws us curve balls,
\nWhich can distract us from our call,
\nAnd if we are not extremely careful,
\nWe may even come down from the wall.<\/p>\n

That is why we must keep the vision,
\nHave it constantly before our eyes,
\nSo when that old serpent attacks us,
\nWe’re not caught off guard by surprise.<\/p>\n

So please remain diligent and faithful,
\nAlways keeping Heaven close to mind,
\nThen no matter what comes your way,
\nBy Grace you’ll be the winning kind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
