Today- a very momentous occasion!
God uses the ordinary
to fulfill the extra-ordinary!
Things like moments, willing hands and feet,
Things like little prayers that wing from our hearts to God!
Each moment we use to the glory of God
turns a diamond in the rough
to a gem of eternal value!
My moments have me seeing red these day!
Apple and tomato red, that is! 😅
Thank-you Lord!
The top layer of this heap was turned into salsa,
bbq sauce and tomato soup yesterday!
Today applesauce
while the remaining tomatoes redden up a bit more!
Today is Time’s freshest release
(The makings of a masterpiece
If we with honour weigh the sum
Of what each moment will become)
Like little diamonds in the rough
God tips His treasure trove of love
As moments mete the means whereby
Duty and privilege reply
This is no common enterprise
Melting night’s shadows from yon skies
Let’s meet each charge of God’s command
With thankful heart and willing hand
For the secret to success lies
In what we seek to recognize
Of moments, as they glint and spill
Like diamonds gleaming with God’s will
How precious is the sum of them!
Then let’s not waste one precious gem
But, pursue with each moment-lease
The making of a masterpiece
