Monday Memories: Infinite Road

Walking this lonely road

Losing count of each step

Packing life’s hefty load

Careful not to misstep

 

Miles of infinite road

Where will it finally end?

Life scanned, like some bar code

What lies around the bend?

 

Few answers on this road

Walking day after day

Needing life to reload

Feeling like nature’s prey

 

Danger lurks on this road

Always staying alert

Life delayed in safe mode

Old, worn boots kicking dirt

 

Life resembles this road

Challenges come and go

Heavy, infinite load

Never walking too slow

What is a weed?  A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher.  He was a leading voice in America’s transcendentalist movement in the 19th century.

Dotting I’s, crossing T’s

Life’s performance checklist

Nice life bestowed on thee

Knowing Father shall insist

 

Worshipping each Sunday

Dollars fill collection

Mirror says, “Good Christian”

Seeking Father’s affection

 

Feeling faith’s emptiness

Life’s perfection falls short

Redemption’s ticket waits

Striving for Father’s passport

 

Hearing at last, Word’s truth

New covenant shall rise

Hope’s mercy calls for faith

Fulfilling Father’s franchise

 

Receiving salvation

Despite life’s sinful walk

By grace, Savior redeems

Grasping Father’s faithful rock

Leaving life’s performance treadmill, the Gospel’s true road offers guidance through our Savior’s blessed grace–as we walk faithfully in His light into new life.

Lectures which really teach will never be popular; lectures which are popular will never really teach.

I have far more confidence in the man who works mentally and bodily at a matter than in the six who merely talk about it.

Michael Faraday (1791-1867) was an English physicist and chemist.  His research greatly contributed to the study of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it.

From Joshua 24:15:  “Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living, but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

George Augustus Moore (1852-1933) was an Irish novelist, short story writer, and poet.  He has often been regarded as the first great modern Irish novelist.
