Though all seems lost

There are some everywhere who in the discouragement of defeat and failure, feel that it is now too late for them to make their character beautiful. They imagine that have lost their opportunity. But this is never true.

A poet tells of walking in his garden and seeing a bird's nest lying on the ground. The storm had swept through the tree and ruined the nest. While he mused sadly over the wreck of the bird's home, he looked up and there he saw them building a new one amid the branches.

The birds teach us immortals a lesson. Though all seems lost , let us not sit down and weep in despair — but let us rise and begin to build again!

No one can undo a wrong past. No one can repair the ruin of years that are gone. We cannot live our lives over again. But at our Father's feet, we can begin anew and make all our life new.
