Day’s Unhurried Pace

Life with its purpose

Every minute spent

Never wasting any

Just need to pay today’s rent

 

Day’s unhurried pace

Let’s enjoy each scene

Sitting on nature’s porch

Sunshine better than caffeine

 

Yes, growing older

But treasure each day

Dreaming of fairway green

Does anyone play croquet?

 

Rather keep life simple

Chasing more blue sky

Positive state of mind

Patio invites, come by

 

Grilling cheeseburgers

Welcoming each friend

Tasty bushel of crabs

Please let this day never end

 

Holding off sunset

For few minutes more

Warmest ocean breezes

Tomorrow waits in night’s drawer

You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can’t, you do the next best thing.

Unfortunately, many people do not consider fun an important item on their daily agenda.

Chuck Yeager (1923-2020) was a United States Air Force aviator.  He rose to a rank of Brigadier General, but he had preciously been well recognized for his flying exploits.  Besides being a flying ace, he became the first pilot to exceed the speed of sound on a level flight in 1947.

We aren’t just thrown on this earth like dice tossed across a table.  We are lovingly placed here for a purpose.

From Ecclesiastes 3:1:  “For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.”

God is not fooled by good behavior that springs from a hard heart.  Obeying Him with an unwilling spirit may achieve His purpose, but we lose the joy of our reward.

From Jonah 4:9-11:  “But God said to Jonah, ‘Is it right for you to be angry about the bush?’ And he said, ‘Yes, angry enough to die.’  Then the Lord said, ‘You are concerned about the bush, for which you did not labor and which you did not grow; it came into being in a night and perished in a night.  And should I not be concerned about Nineveh, that great city, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who do not know their right hand from their left and also many animals?'”

Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness.  It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

From Job 36:11:  “If they listen and serve Him, they complete their days in prosperity and their years in pleasantness.”

How we remember, what we remember, and why we remember form the most personal map of our individuality.

The purpose of life is not to maintain personal comfort; it’s to grow the soul.

Christina Baldwin (born 1946) is an American writer, teacher, and lecturer.

Facing world’s wickedness

Knowing God walks with thee

Surrounded by darkness

His good purpose foresees

 

Feeling Spirit’s mercy

Turning to Father’s aid

Rejoicing with boldness

His good purpose conveyed

 

Living in Christ brings gain

Soaking up trusting Word

Finding joy in faith’s hope

His good purpose now heard

 

Praising the Lord our God

Following divine moves

Feeding faithful hunger

His good purpose approves

 

Lifting up each stranger

Setting prisoners free

Loving with righteousness

His good purpose shall be
