STOP AND THINK Those who turn back, remember the ordeal. Those who persevere, remember the adventure. (Milo Arnold, Christian author)
This quote is presumably from Arnold’s book, The Adventure Called Marriage. In the broader context of life, it is just as appropriate. When we quit our involvement in something difficult, we most often will look back on that experience as a trial. But, if we stick it out to a successful conclusion, we will likely view the experience with greater peace of mind.
Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. (Ruth 1:16)
