Speech Contest, Post 2

Mom's speech went pretty well. God answered our prayer that

she would do her best and would come in under time.
She didn't place,
but that's okay because she did do her very BEST and

that's what counts. "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to

the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall

receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord

Christ." Colossians 3:23-24 Mom demonstrated diligence which

could be seen through the time she spent revising, memorizing,

and practicing her speech.



Much thanks goes to Dorene Braun, Mom's fellow Toastmaster,

who spent many hours helping her refine the speech

Dorene's valuable service was encouraging by her

self-lessness and willingness to point out many ways of

improvement. Without her aid, the

speech would not have attained the quality that it acquired.
