I know that I can
From the Little Red Engine
Dear Hearts,
We all know the childhood story of "The Little Red Engine" that always ran on time. Then one day, the little red engine was running late because it was confronted with a steep hill, and didn't know how it was going to climb up that hill. As the little red engine slowly started up the hill, it continually said to itself, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can" until it climbed to the very top of the hill.
If today we seem to be confronted with a steep hill, whether in our personal or professional lives, how will we handle it? Will the hill loom so large to us that we give up before we've even begun? Will we try half heartedly but stop before we've reached our goal? Or will we have the courage of the little red engine and proceed up that hill by continually saying to ourselves, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can", and as we get closer to the top of the hill, whatever that hill looks like in our lives, perhaps we will then say very confidently, "I know I can, I know I can, I know I can."
With love and blessings,
Rev. Barbara
