Afternoon hideout
Character’s introvert side—
Submerged with good book
Walking new avenues
Positive energy swells—
Restore and renew
Smallest achievements
Self-esteem’s power supply—
Brighter tomorrow

I have a rendezvous with life.
Man dreams that he is more than a leaf in a tree.
Countee Cullen (1903-1946) was an American poet and novelist, who made a significant impact during the Harlem Renaissance.
From John 4:23-24: [Jesus is speaking] “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship Him. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Praising with faith the Sabbath, the Lord’s Day
But, our lives needing to connect in other ways
Worshipping each day, receiving God’s serenity
Setting aside daily moments, faithful identity
Reading Scripture from the Lord’s Holy Word
Praying, praising, giving thanks—voices heard
Coming to the Lord with sincere-filled thoughts
Spending time with Him, connecting life’s dots
Sowing seeds of worship and praise with our God
Transforming by His love, perfect and unflawed
Reaping abounding harvest, singing with gladness
Witnessing God’s sacred harmony, never sadness
Filling our hungry hearts, opening up our minds
Listening to our Lord, He comes and truly finds

The greatest legacy we can leave is not money or belongings but the truth that changes lives. Begin today to influence future generations by bringing them the Good News.
From 2 Timothy 3:14-15: “ But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have known sacred writings that are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.”
From 2 Corinthians 5:6-7: “So we are always confident, even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord—for we walk by faith, not by sight.”
Lost in fog of sinful flesh
Hidden from Father’s intent
Caught again in evil’s net
Faith’s ember waits to repent
Selfishness, full of darkness
One more transgression adds shame
Swallowed by false promises
Faith finds mercy’s trusted flame
Spirit breathes with precious grace
Savior’s blood washes sin clean
Paid for from Calvary’s cross
Faith’s pastures, forever green
In Christ, walking His high road
Old ways now passing away
Reconciled by Father’s love
Faith maturing, day by day
From the words of American pastor and Christian author, Charles Swindoll: “The only way to find happiness in the grind of life is to do so by faith.”
