If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please
read on.
For often, achieving what you
36 to do is not the important thing. Let me
explain.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they
were working, a couple of older boys stopped
37 to watch.
"What are you doing?" asked one of the 38
"We plan to dig a hole all the way through the
39!" one of the brothers 40 excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh, 41 the younger
ones that digging a hole like that was
42 .
After a long 43 , one of the
diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a wide
assortment of insects. He removed the lid and showed the
wonderful 44 to the scoffing
visitors.
Then he said 45 and
confidently, " 46 we don't dig all the way
through the earth, look what we found along the way!"
Their goal was far too 47 ,
but it 48 cause them to dig.
And that is what a goal is for-to cause us to
49 in the direction we have chosen; in other
words, to 50 us to
digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end
successfully. Not every hope will come to
51 . Not every love will last. Not every dream
will be realized.
But when you fall 52 of your
aim, perhaps you can say, "Yes, but look at what I found along the
way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into
my 53 because I tried to do
something!"
It is in the digging 54 life is
lived. And I believe it is joy in the journey, in the end,
that
