This Day’s Thought From Monday & Tuesday

|
If we work upon marble, it will perish,
If, on brass, time will efface it;
If we rear temples they will crumble in the dust,
But if we work upon immortal minds and endue them with principles,
With the just fear of God and the love of our fellowmen,
We engrave on those tablets something that will brighten all eternity.
The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
Psalm 9:9
The English Standard Version
Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, the missionary doctor of Labrador, was a cynical young medical student in London when Dwight L. Moody went there to preach. Said Grenfell of Moody: “When Mr. Moody finished his sermon, I resolved either to drop religion entirely or else make a real effort to do what Christ would do if He were in my place. With a mother like mine, that resolve could only have one outcome. So, beginning that night, I started doing what I thought Christ would do if He were a young doctor in London.”

Life is a glorious opportunity, if it is used to condition us for eternity. If we fail in this, though we succeed in everything else, our life will have been a failure. There is no escape for the man who squanders his opportunity to prepare to meet God.
Even when we are too weak to have any faith left, he remains faithful to us and will help us, for he cannot disown us who are part of himself, and he will always carry out his promises to us.
2 Timothy 2:13
The Living Bible
Pain That Does

Pain that does
in a heart remain
Can only serve
to rage sustain
Life from us
it does drain
If we harbor
oceans of disdain
And by that
what do we gain
When from it
we don’t refrain?
What a heart
can not contain
If choked down
drives one insane
But the remedy
is very plain
No long instructions
to ever explain
As the clouds
release their rain
Setting it free
makes whole again!

Larry – Tuesday’s Other Limerick

When around our cousin Larry
we get kinda wary
if we even think
that he’s gonna drink
which makes him pretty scary!

If you must take a pill
all for you to instill
in your life some joy
then boy, oh boy, oh boy
you need to learn to chill!

B is For Breath – Weekly Photo Challenge: B-Archive
image source: google.com/images
B is for the breath
each second of the day
that God gives to me
as I go on my way
When I take it in
and then expelled it out
I’ve found it’s not something
that I’m even conscious about
But I know without it
I would cease to live
therefore it is some gratitude
to God that I should give
Father accept my thank You
for the air I breathe
that does sustain the life
from You I did receive!

Dilly the Dragon
One day Dilly the dragon
sat with her tail waggin’
While staring at a flower
hour after hour after hour
Waiting for it to open
without her ever once mopin’
The other dragons thought Dilly
was acting pretty darn silly
‘Til hearing her delighted cries
when the flower opened its eyes
And they all ran to see
the greatness of its beauty
But by the time they’d come
the blooming was over and done
And left Dilly alone to sing
of the joy the flower did bring!
