“Well, Can It Be Done?”
How are you doing so far this year? Some may be feeling the homeschooling road is a bit bumpy this time around. And others may be thinking, “It just can’t be done!” Whether you homeschool on a traditional nine-month schedule or not, it’s a good time to do a quick “fall check up” to see how you’re doing.
To help with this process, we are offering our first annual “Fall Check Up Specials?” on Christian Heritage CD’s.
And to put a smile on your face and a bounce in your step as you tackle the school year, scroll down to see “It Couldn’t Be Done…” by Edgar A. Guest.

“It Couldn’t Be Done”
Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried, he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: “Oh, you’ll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it;”
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That “cannot be done”, and you’ll do it.

And in the words of Paul, the apostle of Jesus Christ:
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me…
And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.” ~ Philippians 4:13, 19-20
- We all need encouragement, both from scripture and from others who have met life’s challenges and overcome.
- We here at Christian Heritage hope you’ll be inspired to face this year’s home-based discipleship challenges by this delightful bit of poetic wisdom … by the CD’s offered above … and by the Bible verses that follow.
- And there’s a link to a printable version of the poem below for your fridge, schoolroom wall, or student’s desk!
God bless your family as you “buckle in with a bit of a grin,” and tackle this year for God’s glory!
