Thursday Thoughts~

It is not up to us to know

The workings of Love’s Higher Plan

But it is up to us to do

With each moment, the best we can

***

Not by works, lest we should boast

Is the salvation of the soul

But by the blood of Jesus Christ

The broken sinner is made whole

***

To indulge a wish

Even an idle little one

Can be an all-consuming ill

If we give it a throne

***

To deny ourselves

For the sake of pride

Is like wandering the world

With no place to hide

To deny ourselves

For the sake of fear

Is like trading laughter

To covet a tear

To deny ourselves

For the sake of love

Is like opening windows

To Heaven above

***

’Tis easy to justify

With thought

Those things we do

That we ought not

***

Those things we do

Though small they seem

Are not mere moments

In life’s stream

But in the end

Will prove to be

The corner-stone

Of our legacy

***

Consider carefully

What you say and do

For somewhere Someone

Is watching you…

***

Take heed of the guests

You allow in your brain

For we become thoughts

That we entertain

***

Save the tree

Save the water

Save the air

Save the world…

Pity the one

When it’s all said and done

Who neglected

To save his soul

***

Beauty is not something we can buy or wear

It is not body or make-up or hair

The outward is skin; it covers that part

Of true Beauty; a meek and humble heart

***

Different faces, different bodies,

Different races, jobs and roles

Different strengths, different weaknesses

And different dreams and goals

But

We are all alike

We all are flesh and blood

To a common appointment

Eternity and God
