How wonderful it is nobody need to wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

From Habakkuk 3:19:  “God, the Lord, is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a deer and makes me tread upon the heights.”

Anne Frank (1929-1945) was a German-born Jewish girl.  Her much celebrated diary chronicled her family’s life while hiding in an Amsterdam attic.

Life’s journey invites us to continue reaching for the stars.  Yes, we will never quite reach them, but the growth that we experience with the effort will prepare us for our next adventure.

Thankfulness Sings

From Psalm 9:1-2:  “I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.  I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.”

Another harvest finished

Bushels filled with Father’s grace

Spirit of thankfulness sings

Chorus of voices embrace

 

Gifted with bounty’s surplus

Every homestead offers praise

Spirit of Messiah sings

Mercy’s light always ablaze

 

Humbleness in daily walk

Morning’s sunrise praises all

Spirit of risen Lord sings

Cherished rewards come each fall

 

Community now gathers

Worship fills this tiny church

Spirit of faithfulness sings

Hope filling tomorrow’s search

 

Another spring shall arrive

Father’s glory in each seed

Spirit of thankfulness sings

Savior’s love forever freed

From Psalm 100:4-5:  “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.  Give thanks to Him; bless His name.  For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever and His faithfulness to all generations.”

If there were one great message I could deliver to those who struggle with not having an abundance of this world’s goods, it would be this simple yet profound promise for happiness:  Great wealth is not related to money!  In a word, the secret is contentment.

From Proverbs 16:8:  “Better is a little with righteousness than large income with injustice.”
