A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.
You can’t stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes. [Both quotes taken from Milne’s writings about Winnie-the-Pooh]
A. A. (Alan Alexander) Milne (1882-1956) was an English writer who was best known for his writings about Winnie-the-Pooh.
For all who thirst
Come to blessed waters
Now follow carefully
Every son and daughter
Listen with care
Abundance of hope waits
Covenant’s faithful love
Key found to Heaven’s gate
Witness David
Leadership born in him
All for Father’s glory
Faith’s light shall never dim
Truth from Heaven
Look toward Savior’s grace
No longer forsaken
Trust brings us to His place
Return to God
Leave each unrighteous thought
Sin’s indictment erased
Messiah’s blood has bought
Embrace His way
Mercy looks upon earth
Thorns transformed into blooms
Anchored at Spirit’s berth

The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.
From Romans 8:24-25: “For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what one already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.”
Nelson Henderson (1865-1943) was a Canadian-born, second-generation farmer.
Tranquility’s breath
Morning’s comforting stillness—
Novel’s deep reading
Volunteer’s spirit
Stepping up, giving of self—
Serving slice of grace
Rendezvous with friends
Conversation with good food—
Forks up and phones down

To a world filling with harsh darkness
Our Heavenly Father wakens trust
God’s love conquers, crushing this starkness
Sending our Redeemer, always just
Jesus, the Messiah, walks the land
His Spirit deepens our mind and soul
We experience God, close at hand
Blood shed on a Cross, paying our toll
With every footprint Jesus makes
Walking forward, His bright light beckons
We follow with faith, make no mistake
Through our adversity, faith checks in
Enemy lurks, bringing temptation
Walking with Jesus, freed like a bird
In alignment with Him . . . Salvation!
Faithful “doers” of God’s Holy Word
