St but to the one that endures to the end there was a little girl who father had bought her some rer skins only problem this little girl didn't know how to skate she took the skates her father gave her got in the driveway put them on slipping falling slipping and falling for the elbows for the knee slipping and falling crying but still trying Lord May across the street saw the little girl crying trying to get those skates down slipping and fall and slipping and fall until finally he walked over and said baby why don't you just stop just quck you falling you done scrape your knee elbow you over here in pain just stop quit that little girl looked at that man and said sir my daddy didn't give me these skates to quit with but to learn it I need to tell you this afternoon God did not give you this life to quit [Applause] with he didn't give you this position to quit with but you learn so you've been thinking about quitting and somebody in your ancestor line survived being chained to other human beings for several months at the bottom of a disease infested ship somewhere during Middle Passage they lost their name their culture and their tradition your ancestors picked up on the English language as best they could while working free of charge from son up to sun down having their children snatched from their arms and sold into slavery while their women their wives their mothers their daughters granddaughters many were brutally raped by ruthless slave owners son and you've been thinking about quit your ancestors were given first names but no last names no birth certificates no Heritage of any kind your ancestors grave the Underground Railroad yeah survive the Civil War only the enter into share property your ancestors learn how to read and write out of P will and determination they survive the burning crosses of the CR Clan they inverted their eyes from the body swinging from Ro hung on trees and you've been thinking about quitting speak well your ancestors fought in World Wars as soldiers only to come back to America and be treated like boys they marched in Birmingham was HED in Selma they were arrested in Wilmington assassinated in milus ghetto in the north segregated in the South ignored in the history books stereotyped in Hollywood somebody in your family survived every era just so you could get [Applause] here they survived every era just so you can get and you receive one letter of of rejection you you face one obstacle you lose one friend and you ready to [Applause] quit speak son how dare you how dare you even entertain the thought of qu somebody in your assistant life survive just so you could succeed so I come to tell you this afternoon when things go wrong yeah as they sometimes will when the road tring is all uphill when the Farms are low and The Debs are high yes sir when you want to smile but you have to S when car is pressing you down a bit rest if you must but don't you quit life is queer with this twist turn as every one of us sometimes learns many of failure is turned about when it might have one had to stuck it out so don't give up though the pace seems slow you may succeed with another blow success is failure turned inside out with the Silver T and clouds of doubt and you never can tell how close you are it may be near when it seems so far so you stick to the fight even when you are hardest it's when things seem worse but you must not quit you got to keep going cuz Isaiah 43 and2 is true when you walk through the waters he said I'll be with you when you go through the rivers they won't overtake you when you go through the fire you won't be burned neither shall the flame set your gra you got to keep going because Isaiah 54 and 17 is true no weapon found against you sh PR you got to keep going because Jeremiah 29 And1 is true he said I know the plans I have for you plans to prosper you not harm you give you a hope and a future you got to keep going because Psalms 27 is true the Lord is my life and my [Music] salvation shall I fear the lord is the strength of My Life whom shall I be free when the wicked even my enemies and my folks Came Upon me to eat up my flesh they stumbled and fil though a host should encamp against me my heart won't SP the war should rise against me in this will I be confident one thing that I'm the child of the Lord and that when I seek after that I may D in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord to inquire in his temple in the time of trouble he shall have me in hision in the secret place of his Tabernacle he hand me you set me upon a ro now shall my hand be lifted up above my enemies and I'll offer sacrifices of Joy I'll sing pra unto my love clap your neighbor's hands and and sayen you
