Joy

Heav'n above is softer blue,
earth around is sweeter green!
Something lives in every hue
Christless eyes have never seen:
Birds with gladder songs o'er flow,
flow'rs with deeper beauties shine,
Since I know, as now I know,
I am His and He is mine.

(George Wade Robinson)

1Thessalonians 5 v 16-18

Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Worship

"Worship is the overflow of a grateful heart, under a sense of Divine favour."
A.P.Gibbs

Priorities

"Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least."
Goethe

Don't Waste Your Life

"We waste our lives when we do not pray and think and dream and plan and work toward magnifying God in all spheres of life. God created us for this: to live our lives in a way that makes him look more like the greatness and the beauty and the infinite worth that He really is."
John Piper

Babies don't keep

Cleaning and scrubbing will wait ’till tomorrow,
but children grow up, as I’ve learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs! Dust go to sleep!
I’m rocking my baby. Babies don’t keep.
– Ruth Hamilton

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say, 'Hi'

You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....Thrown away.

Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

Psalm 127v1

Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labour in vain.

Contentment

Never allow yourself to complain about anything, not even the weather!
Never picture yourself in any other circumstances or someplace else.
Never compare your lot with another's.
Never allow yourself to wish this or that had been otherwise.
Never dwell on tomorrow - remember that tomorrow is God's, not ours.

Respect for Life

"Too many men who seek the out-of-doors for rest at the present time, can only find it with a gun in hand. To rest and heal their nerves they must go out and try to kill some unfortunate creature - the old, old story of sacrificial blood. Far better will it be when, through properly training the child, the man shall be enabled to enjoy nature through seeing how creatures live rather than watching them die."
Anna Botsford Comstock
