MANOS A LA OBRA <\/p>\n

09-11-2014<\/p>\n

Someday we shall surely take our rest,
\nBut now is indeed not that day,
\nThe Lord has given us a job to do,
\nOur first duty is His Will to obey.<\/p>\n

There are so many things in this life,
\nWhich strive to keep us from our task,
\nHe gives us Grace to endure the test,
\nAll we really have to do is ask.<\/p>\n

Strength for the hour, faith for the day,
\nIt is really such a simple equation,
\nJust keeping our eyes upon the Lord,
\nWill result in a grandiose occasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
