Diligence

Diligence is a wonderful thing...
A positive habit to which we should cling.
It gives attention to careful detail,
And when it is practiced, order will prevail.

It follows through on each task it began
And finishes up exactly as planned.
Diligence accomplishes all that it tries.
A diligent man is indeed very wise.

“The hand of the diligent will rule..."
Proverbs 12:24 KJV

Note: This so reminds me of my dad, whose birthday was April 28th (1896 - 1988). Everything about his life was always in order. Our home was always in good repair and freshly painted. Our yard was the best taken care-of on our street. His tools were always in order and well-sharpened. He was truly a diligent man in every way.
