The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.  Let’s make a long-term commitment to quality control.  Let’s move out of the thick ranks of the mediocre and join the thin ranks of excellence.

From Ecclesiastes 3:22:  “So I saw that there is nothing better than that all should enjoy their work, for that is their lot; who can bring them to see what will be after them?”

Gentleness

From Philippians 4:5:  “Let Your gentleness be known to everyone.  The Lord is near.”

Savior filled with truth

Gentleness flows

Outward to others

Spirit knows

 

Ready to listen

Gentleness stirs

Shared with believers

Grace transfers

 

Savior always near

Gentleness loves

Risen from dark tomb

Peace-filled dove

 

Prayer opens heart

Gentleness speaks

Light shatters darkness

Mercy seeks

 

Savior’s faithful bridge

Gentleness leads

Steady, trusted rock

Heaven’s seeds

From Philippians 4:8:  “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Franz Joseph Haydn Quote

Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com

When I think of God, my heart is so full of joy that the notes leap and dance as they leave my pen; and since God has given me a cheerful heart, I serve Him with a cheerful spirit.

From Proverbs 15:15:  All the days of the poor are hard, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.”

Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) was an Austrian composer.  Some of his most instrumental achievements dealt with the development of chamber music (both string quartet and piano trio).

God engineers a narrow road to keep us focused on His light shining ahead of us, and not on the darkness on either side of the road.
