"Today is the first day
of the rest of your life.
Do you know what it means?
Well, I know at least one thing it
doesn't mean. It doesn't mean that
the past can be forgotten and
ignored. That's a part of your life
also — and what a part!
I learned early in life that if I
buttoned the first button on my
coat wrong, all the rest of the buttons
would be out of place. If I wished
to make it right, I had to return to
the first button and start all over.
special Sesquicentennial events
highlight the most recent Calendar
of Texas Events just issued by the
State Department of Highways and
Public Transportation.
Do you want to start this first day
of the rest of your life right?
Then go back and match the buttons.
Go back to the greatest Commandment
of them all: "Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart and all thy -
soul and all thy mind... and the
second is like unto it, Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself."
Get those two buttons fastened
securely in your life and all the
others will match perfectly.
Otherwise, they never will!
