“When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit!” —Edgar A. Guest 

Are you making preparation for the family Thanksgiving? This week, I will share some thoughts from the book, "Just Folks," by a very favorite author, Edgar A Guest. The Old Fashioned Thanksgiving. "It may be I am getting old, and like too much dwell upon the days of bygone years, the days I love so well. But thinking of them now, I wish somehow that I could borrow a simple old Thanksgiving Day like those of long ago. When all the family gathered round a table richly spread with little Jamie at the foot and Grandpa at the head, the youngest of us all to greet the oldest with a smile, with mother running in and out and laughing all the while. It may be I'm 'old fashioned,' but it seems to me today we're too much bent on having fun to take the time to pray. Each little family grows up with fashions of its own. It lives within a world itself and wants to be alone. It has its special pleasures, its circle, too of friends. There are no get together days. Each one his journey, wends. Pursuing what he likes the best in his particular way, letting the others do the same upon Thanksgiving Day. I like the olden way the best when relatives were glad to meet the way they used to do. But when I was but a child, the old homestead was a rendezvous for all our friends and kin, and whether living far or near, they all came trooping in with shouts of "Hello, daddy!" as they fairly stormed the place and made a rush for mother, who would stop to wipe her face. Upon the gingham apron before she kissed them all, hugging them proudly, to her breast, the grown ups and small. Then laughter rang throughout the home, and oh, the jokes they told - from Boston, Frank brought new ones, but Father sprang the old. All afternoon, we chatted, telling what we hoped to do, the struggles we were making and the hardships we'd gone through. We gathered round the fireside, how fast the hours would fly, it seemed before we'd settle down, it was time to say goodbye. Those were the glad Thanksgivings, the old time families knew. When relatives could still be friends, and every heart was true." I enjoyed these thoughts so much by Edgar Guest, that I felt I just had to share these thoughts with you, the dear readers of this warm thoughts column.

Gresham Harkless discusses the journey from "good" to "great," emphasizing the importance of recognizing that greatness requires sacrifice and a willingness to embrace challenges.    He highlights a powerful quote from Jim Collins, "Good is the enemy of great," and reflects on a poem by Edgar A. Guest that warns against complacency.   He discusses how “good enough” creates a comfort zone, that stifles growth and innovation.   He emphasizes the need to overcome the fear of failure to reach higher goals.   He explains the importance of feedback and learning from failures to minimize risks.   In addition, he emphasizes that the world needs everyone's unique greatness, urging listeners to pursue their potential. Book: Good to Great Poem Good Enough Edgar A. Guest My son, beware of "good enough," It isn't made of sterling stuff; It's something any man can do, It marks the many from the few, It has not merit to the eye, It's something any man can buy, It's name is but a sham and bluff, For it is never "good enough."   With "good enough" the shirkers stop In every factory and shop; With "good enough" the failures rest And lose to men who give their best; With "good enough" the car breaks down And men fall short of high renown. My son, remember and be wise In "good enough" disaster lies.   With "good enough" have ships been wrecked, The forward march of armies checked, Great buildings burned and fortunes lost; Nor can the world compute the cost In life and money it has paid Because at "good enough" men stayed. Who stops at "good enough" shall find Success has left him far behind.   There is no "good enough" that's short Of what you can do and ought. The flaw which may escape the eye And temporarily get by, Shall weaken under the strain And wreck the ship or car or train. For this is true of men and stuff— Only the best is "good enough."   Collected Verse of Edgar Guest Cutchogue, NY: Buccaneer Books, 1976, 465   Check out our CEO Hack Buzz Newsletter–our premium newsletter with hacks and nuggets to level up your organization.

Speaker: LaCelle Wilborn Old Testament Bible Verse: Jeremiah 29:11-13 New Testament Bible Verse: 1 Timothy 4:8-16 Summary God teaches us via the Prophet Jeremiah (1:5 & 29:11-13) and King David (Psalm 139 , specifically verse 14) that He knew us before we were formed in the womb and that we were wonderfully made according to His plans and purpose. The second part of the story introduces young Timothy under the guidance of the Apostle Paul 1 Timothy 4:8-16 and 2 Timothy 2:15). Here a young disciple of Jesus Christ is told not to let anyone look down on him because he is young, but to set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. That he (Timothy) was not too young to Worship God, Witness for God, not Work for God. The 3rd and final part of the conversation ends with a challenge to use what God has given individuals to His glory, honor and praise via a poem written by Edgar A. Guest entitled "Equipment" read by George Washington Carver in 1942. Key Takeaway Thoughts We were ALL created and wonderfully made by God and have great purpose according to His plan, but the individual must choose the path they will follow. Age should not prevent an individual from Worshiping God, Witnessing for God, nor Working for God. We are ALL properly equipped to do the will of God now.

Don't Quit by Edgar A. Guest

Figure it out for yourself, my lad, You've all that the greatest of men have had, Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes And a brain to use if you would be wise. With this equipment they all began, So start for the top and say, "I can." Look them over, the wise and great They take their food from a common plate, And similar knives and forks they use, With similar laces they tie their shoes. The world considers them brave and smart, But you've all they had when they made their start. You can triumph and come to skill, You can be great if you only will. You're well equipped for what fight you choose, You have legs and arms and a brain to use, And the man who has risen great deeds to do Began his life with no more than you. You are the handicap you must face, You are the one who must choose your place, You must say where you want to go, How much you will study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, but He Lets you decide what you want to be. Courage must come from the soul within, The man must furnish the will to win. So figure it out for yourself, my lad. You were born with all that the great have had, With your equipment they all began, Get hold of yourself and say: "I can." --Edgar A.

This poem is titled "Have You Earned Your Tomorrow", written by Edgar Albert Guest who was known as the People's Poet. In 1952, he was appointed Poet Laureate for the State of Michigan where thousands of people sought his inspirational poems for moral support when they were stressed and loved his subtle humor. Have You Earned Your Tomorrow poem presents a number of probing questions to a listener about how they spend their days to improve the day of another person. The message being conveyed by this English poetry is that even the smallest act of kindness is enough to guarantee a better tomorrow. This motivational poem will prod the listeners into questioning their own goodness and help others in any way possible; thereby earning themselves a well-deserved tomorrow. This English poem by Edgar Guest describes the importance of living each day by being kind and helpful towards others and by making small contributions to improve their lives In this inspirational poem, Edgar A. Guest is trying to convey a message that every good deed you do will come back to you. Cherish what's around you, and spread happiness. Have You Earned Your Tomorrow Is anybody happier because you passed his way? Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today? This day is almost over, and its toiling time is through; Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you? Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along? Or a churlish sort of "Howdy" and then vanish in the throng? Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushed along the way, Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today? Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast, That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said; Does a man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead? Did you waste the day, or lose it, was it well or sorely spent? Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent? As you close your eyes in slumber do you think that God would say, You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today? ~ Edgar Albert Guest The Ancient Sage A day is the microcosm of life. You're born every morning, every evening you die. That's all life is: an interval between birth & death. You waste a day, you wasted your life. Because all you'll ever have is a day. The cycle repeats until one day it's the evening of your life.

Friends, the year was 2007 when I was living in the UK; I had the privilege of studying NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) – the effect of language on our mind and how we think. I was introduced to the fascinating world of storytelling, metaphors, voice modulation, etc. What I still remember from this training that I took 13 years ago is this: Words, poetry, music, drama can significantly alter a person's state of mind. And this poem, that I'm about to share with you, attributed to Edgar Albert Guest & John Greenleaf Whittier; has always given me the strength to persevere for my long-term goals; has always lifted my emotions up; and in the middle of some of the very uncertain and chaotic times of my life, it's given me this very simple message: Rest, if you have to, but don't you quit. "When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don't give up though the pace seems slow-- You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than, It seems to a faint and faltering man, Often the struggler has given up, When he might have captured the victor's cup, And he learned too late when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out-- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-- It's when things seem worst that you must not quit." There is a lot of controversy around who the original author is. Some sources on the internet say it was Edgar A. Guest (1881-1959) and yet there are some citations that attribute the poem to John Greenleaf Whittier.

This week‘s poem is: ‘A Friends Greetings' by Edgar Albert Guest. Edgar Albert Guest was a British-born American poet who was well known in the 20th century. His poems often have an inspirational and optimistic view of daily life. A Friends Greetings is a poem about compassion and kindness toward others. We all know that it is a blessing to have a good friend, someone who does not judge us, someone who is always be there for us. A Friend's Greeting by Edgar A Guest I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me; I'd like to be the help that you've been always glad to be; I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day As you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along the way. I'd like to do the big things and the splendid things for you, To brush the gray from out your skies and leave them only blue; I'd like to say the kindly things that I so oft have heard, And feel that I could rouse your soul the way that mine you've stirred. I'd like to give you back the joy that you have given me, Yet that were wishing you a need I hope will never be; I'd like to make you feel as rich as I, who travel on Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to lean upon. I'm wishing at this time that I could but repay A portion of the gladness that you've strewn along my way; And could I have one wish this year, this only would it be: I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me.

In 1929 Edgar A. Guest wrote a poem about the most amazing technology of his time... radio. When radio first became available to American listeners it was truly a miracle. People could not believe that "sound" was coming through the air! In fact after radio was invented, the proliferation of "Mediums" and "Psychics" took off! Many felt that if "Sound" could travel through the "ether" (that was the name they gave to the medium that the thought conducted sound)... and it could be heard and then recreated by this thing called a "radio," wouldn't it be possible for some people with special psychic abilities to be able to hear voices being sent from "beyond" and then speak what they heard? On this track... I read Edgar A Guest's poem "Radio." It is marvelous in its simplicity. "Radio" will live in the "History of Radio" Playlist.

# Episode Notes

UN HOMBRE Un hombre no lloriquea por sus pérdidas. Un hombre no se queja ni desespera, ni protesta por el peso de sus cruces pidiéndole a la vida una caricia. Un hombre no trabaja rezongando ni mira al trabajo como a una plaga; un hombre no se burla de su prójimo ni se escapa de una causa que es justa. Un hombre no se enfada cuando otro alcanza el éxito donde él ha fallado; no retiene su alabanza por el hermano que públicamente es aclamado; ni pasa por el débil y el humilde como si no proviniera del mismo barro; un hombre no reniega incesantemente cuando las cosas no salen como esperaba. Un hombre mira a la mujer como tierna y dócil, y está a su lado en todo tiempo la cuida y la defiende y nunca la desprecia ni se burla. El hombre mira la vida como una misión. Para servir, tanto como pueda; un hombre tiene una noble ambición vivir como un hombre sobre la tierra. —EDGAR A. GUEST

Senator Samuel James "Sam" Ervin Jr. (1896-1985) (D-N.C.) was a former lawyer and judge, who graduated from Harvard Law School. Ervin was a something of a paradox. He supported Jim Crow and segregation, and helped lead southern opposition to civil rights on constitutional grounds. But in other contexts, he was seen as a champion of liberal causes, opposing Senator Joseph McCarthy's House Un-American Activities Committee and leading the Watergate investigation that led to President Nixon's resignation. After his retirement from politics in 1974, Ervin returned to the practice of law.in 1973, CBS records published the LP "Senator Sam at Home" which consists of Ervin delivering an assortment of anecdotes, pithy observations, jokes, and songs. His version of Simon & Garfunkel's song "Bridge Over Troubled Water" was unexpectedly popular, and was released as a 45, with the B-side "Zeke and the Snake."

"Jesus - With Me, It's All Or Nothing!"Climb Every Mountain! Jesus has given us a very high mountainto climb - asking us in today's Scripture, Luke 14:25-33, to leaveeverything to follow him - loving him more than you love your " father,mother, wife, children, brothers and sisters - even more than yourown life." "If you come to me, but will not leave your family youcannot be my follower" or to say it another way, WITH ME IT'SALL OR NOTHING!I thought a little about that when finishing seminary. It wasn't likeI was going back home to Ohio - my first call was in Wisconsin, thesecond in San Juan, Puerto Rico and the third in Miami Beach Florida!My calling would keep me long distances from father, mother, brotherssisters, nieces, nephews - all. But it was the only way I could do what Iwas called to do.Jesus did not mean that we must all leave our families. He simplymeant that we must give first priority to our spiritual task - to being aperson of Spirit. You are here on this planet to grow your Spirit and to bea force for the development of the Spirit of Christ in the world. There willbe times when you will be tested as to the kind of person you really are.In the way of illustration: Consider the man who was guiding twoclients to the top of Mt. Everest. When they were within 1000 feet of thesummit, they came across a climber who the day before had been left fordead there in the death zone - but who somehow had survived the nightand, though delusional with the cold and altitude, greeted them. He neededhelp - persons to take him back down to where he could me "medivacked"out. The guide felt that was what, as human beings they were called to do.His clients, each of whom had paid $25,000 dollars for the climb, agreedto give up their dream of the mountaintop for this necessary humanitarianmission.It seems to me, in making that decision - they had reached themountaintop - that is, THE mountaintop, of God-like, Christ-like action.The guide was not "a religious man" by his own understanding of that, notaffiliated with any church or synagogue - but connected to the Divinethread that links humanity with Divinity - connected in his heart to theHeart of the Universe.The rescue was successful. The wife and sons of the rescuedman who had been notified of his death, but then, one of his sons, followingthe event on the internet saw the latest report that his father had beenfound alive and rescued. Their joy was beyond measure. Their rescuedloved one told them that he would be missing parts of some fingers andtoes. They asserted that they would love him just as much without them.An interesting sidelight to the event was that in addition to thethree that rescued him, two others came by at the same time, andoverhearing them speaking English, indicated they did not speak English,did not understand what was being said and kept on trekking toward thesummit. Later it was learned that they did speak English - they just didn'tspeak "human being" - they didn't speak "Divinity"The question Jesus has for you today is simple - to you speak"Divinity" with your life. Ironically, speaking "Divinity" with you life couldme that you answer the call, not to leave your mother or father, but to carefor them, cantankerous and difficult as they may be, or hopefully upbeatand easy.Whatever happens in your life where a need that you can meetpresents itself, gives you the opportunity to climb the mountain - or as itwas in the climbers case - to descend the mountain! Where you expressyour Divinity is entirely dependent on where you humanity finds you - andgives you the opportunity to know who you are - if you are the Christ's ornot.Years ago, when one of our parishioners went blind, she addedme to her bank accounts so that I could pay her bills and take care of anyneeds that might arise. When she died, the way the accounts were set up,I had every legal right to take what was in those accounts - thousands andthousands of dollars - but that wasn't what she wanted. She wanted thosedollars to go the church and they did. I had no temptation to take them -I knew who I was and that I was in Christ and Christ was in me. Therewas no question.Jesus wants you to lead a "No question" life. Though it's a simpleethic, it is well worth the following - to guide your life by the life of Christ.To follow His way of thinking and doing without question.How well do we do that? We'd have to ask someone other thanourselves. As a "Christian nation", we might ask someone from Islam forexample. The fact is that the Muslims who despise us, dislike us notbecause we're free, or because we're so very Christian, but because, intheir eyes, we're so awfully godless.. It's because we appear to haveproduced a godless, sex-saturated, violent, materialistic society.We as Christians need to admit that, considering our lamentableinability to practice the teachings of Jesus, that most Muslims are distinctivelyunimpressed with our religion. We invoke God's name as we bomb,occupy and dominate Islamic countries. We may say "In God We Trust"on our money, but they suspect that oil, power and wealth are our trueheart's desire.We're going to have to look a lot more redeemed before they believe inour Redeemer or before they believe in our belief in our Redeemer!And what can we think of Islam when Islamic fundamentalistsbrought about the horror of 9/11? How religious can that be?What we need is for the main body of people in each of the majorreligions to follow their leaders' true values - the values of love and justice- the values we have in common.A young man entered Duke University. He was tall, utterly white,utterly blonde, and utterly Southern. A few weeks later, the Dean saw himwalking on campus, hand in hand with a young woman who was utterlyshort, utterly brown, utterly Muslim, and (God forbid) an Ohioan! TheDean was on personal terms with the boy's parents and it wasn't longbefore his mother called: "Have you met Thomas' girlfriend" shesaid. "Talk to him! They're serious!"So the Dean asked Thomas for a chat. "Thomas," he said,"Tell me about Maranda." He told him that they were very much inlove, that she was a wonderful person, and that they were planning to bemarried right after graduation. The Dean asked, "What brought youtogether." Thomas said, "It was because we had so very much incommon!" The Dean replied, "Thomas, you're from South Carolina,you're blonde, Baptist; She's Muslim, brown and from Ohio. Whatin the would could you possibly have in common?"Thomas said, "Well, you know me. I don't drink onweekends, don't believe in casual sex. I'm not really into the successat any cost thing. She was the only girl I met who had the samevalues as mine!"The Scripture today is wonderful because it gives us an opportunityto check our discipleship quotient by checking our Christian values andhow well we're maintaining them.The fact that you are here in God's house - that's good - for hereyou are reminded of who you are and whose you are. It's good you're inattendance as this sermon is given - at least I think it is.In one church not too long ago a man got up in the middle of thepastor's sermon and walked out. His wife rushed up to the Pastor afterthe sermon and said, "Please don't think anything bad about myhusband walking out in the middle of your sermon. It's just that heoften walks in his sleep!"Maybe that's why Edgar A. Guest wroteI'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day;I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way,The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear,Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clearAnd the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds,For to see good put in action is what everybody needs.I soon can learn to do it if you'll let me see it done;I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast mayrun.And the lecture you deliver may be very wise and true;But I'd rather get my lessons by observing what you doFor I might misunderstand you and the high advice you give,But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.When I see a deed of kindness, I am eager to be kind.When a weaker brother stumbles and a strong man stays behindJust to see if he can help him, then the wish grows strong in meTo become as big and thoughtful as I know as I know that friendto beAnd all travelers can witness that the best of guides todayIs not the one who tells them, but the one who shows the way.One good man teaches many, men believe what they behold;One deed of kindess noticed is worth forty that are told.Who stands with men of honor learns to hold his honor dear,For right living speaks a language which to everyone is clearThough an able speaker charms me with his eloquence, I say,I'd rather see a sermon than to hear one, any day.Lots of people who technically aren't preachers, including youcan be preachers. "A preacher is a person who finds the switchesthat turn on the best inside of us."H.Stephen Glenn points out his fifth grade teacher as one of them.In the days before it was understood, she found ways to deal with hidyslexia that had kept him from progressing previously. She got him outof the stuttering problem that his previous nervous and stressful years inschool had caused. When he went into sixth grade, Miss Hardy becamethe teach of that class as well, much to his delight. He kept track of her formany years thereafter and ultimately learned that she was terminal withcancer. As her only "special student", he decided to travel the thousandmiles to express his appreciation. But he wasn't the only one who madethe pilgrimage to renew their association and share their appreciation ofher - there were hundreds - an interesting mix of people - 3 U.S. Senators,12 State Legislators, and a number of CEO's os corporations and businessto name a few.In comparing notes with them, Stephen figured that three fourthsof them "went into the fifth grade quite intimidated by theeducational process, believing we were incapable, insignificant andat the mercy of fate or luck. We emerged from our contact withMiss Hardy believing we were capable, significant, influentialpeople who had the capacity to make a difference in life if we wouldtry. "One life made such a difference in so many lives - as can yours -particularly if it is guided by the principles and teachings of Jesus and yourpriorities are in order, remembering the essence of what Jesus told us intoday's Scripture "With Me, It's All or Nothing!"Sermon Notes(Not edited nor proofed)The Rev.
