 A Successful Man-Mzee Pancras Biriri
That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. -author unknown
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s His name be Praised.Amen.
