The Preciousness of Moment-gold

Life is busy...often it's easy to lament its haste and all we didn't do

in spite of all we did.

Each day deserves our careful consideration

in the weighing of moment gold

because of its eternal value! 

a peek into a small part of July's beautiful bustle

Life is not always 'a bowl of cherries' is it?!!

But oh the beauty of those 'bowls'!

Thank-you, God

our days are never long enough to do all that we want to do

when it comes to the ones we love, how swift the sands of time run through

the hourglass of touch and taste; its haste a subtle give and take

gathering all we once embraced into love's sentimental ache

the preciousness of moment-gold is a gift new moments estrange

as joy and grief slip through our hold they join a cast nothing can change

as choice by choice ( love's sacred charge) grants countless reasons to be kind

for we are always on the verge of the life we will leave behind

behold today, a gleaming gem granted to likes of you and I

a diamond for a diadem of dust to dust of days gone by

where days never seem long enough to do all that we want or should

before we meet the One whose love bestows all that is true and good

See you soon , Lord willing

Colossians 3:23-24
Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, 

as for the Lord and not for men, 

 because you know that you will receive an inheritance

 from the Lord as your reward. 

It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, 

do it all to the glory of God.
