Analyzing Investments

Nobody knows what will have come to pass by the time the clock's hands pass this way again 

(or if they will!!)

Touch, taste and treasure humbly then, its mien of moment-measure 

as they but once softly spill

And look around to count the ways God's mercy makes 

His Presence known

And thank Him that because He Is 

nobody is ever all alone

Deuteronomy 31:8
The LORD Himself goes before you; He will be with you. 

He will never leave you nor forsake you. 

Do not be afraid or discouraged."

Because we cannot see what waits, soon spilled and strewn behind 

Nobody can afford to be ungrateful or unkind 

Because we cannot tell what farewell will ever enfold 

Nobody ought to not live well the moment that we hold 

Because we cannot know what lies ahead each hour, each day 

Nobody is equipped to forego He who knows/IS The Way

Because we cannot bid what is still hidden to unveil

Nobody has enough without His love that will not fail  

Because we cannot understand all that we wish we could

Nobody ought to shun the Hand held out for our good

Because we cannot see what waits ere gates of dusk descend

Nobody can afford to be anything but a friend

Investing in some laundry, tidy to-do lists today

while listening to this...

How are you making the most of today?

My heart is full of thoughts of my sister-in-law Karen today, 

suffering from ongoing infections and side-effects of them. 

Can you pray for her encouragement and some effective treatment for them?! 

So far what is being tried is not working. 

Today, no matter who, what we do, or where we are,

 it is a gift from the Hand who works for our good!

 May we all take encouragement in this as we work with our own Broken

.

Prayer for the Church

1 Thess.3:11-13

11 Now may our God and Father Himself, 

and our Lord Jesus Christ, 

direct our way to you.

 12 And may the Lord make you increase and abound 

in love to one another and to all, 

just as we do to you, 

13 so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness 

before our God and Father at the coming 

of our Lord Jesus Christ 

with all His saints.
