persistence

I will probably be writing a good deal about Lou the Schnauzer.  We think he is nearing the end.  He will be 13 on May 5th. 

He can't see, he can't jump, he can only go up one or two stairs, and that very slowly.  He runs into things.  He is routinely lost.  But, but, but- he still barks at every stranger that comes into his house.  He does not miss an opportunity to bark at someone he does not know.

Persistent little dude.  You have to admire that.  Sometimes we give up too soon.  Persistence is a virtue.   Many things in life never happen because we gave up too soon.  And many great things were accomplished, with great persistence.

It is a beautiful day here in God's world, be sure to see the good.
