IF OUR HEARTS ARE RIGHT WITH GOD 224

Wrote Charles Sorley...

"The gates are open on the road
that leads to beauty and to God."

No walls, no matter how thick
No fences, no matter how high
No guards, no matter how many
Can keep us encumbered or bound
If our hearts are right with God

If our hearts are right with God
Walls become windows
Fences become rose trellises
Guards become our friends
No chains may fetter
The upward bound soul

God's gates are always open
To those who would enter in

LIFE ITSELF 641

"The happy man," wrote R.J. Baugham,
"is he who lives the life of love, not for
the honors it may bring, but for life itself."

That kind word, that reassuring look,
that gentle way that lifts the burdens of another...
This is the stuff that life's made of.

To share the story of our life and the mercy
and grace and love which has continually
been poured out upon us by a merciful
and loving Lord., what greater honor is there?

To Love, not for honors, but for the sake of
love only, ah, that is...Life itself.

GOING, GOING, GONE

2020 has finally slipped away
And a new year has taken its
place. 2020 will always be
zed recognized as the year
of the deadly pandemic whose
tentacles of sickness and death
touched hundreds of thousands
around the globe.

Thousands of businesses closed,
many lost their well paying jobs

And in the U.S., the Democrats
  managed to take control of
all three branches of government.
It will be more than interesting
to see how that turns out.

On the positive side, more prayers
were said, more scriptures read,
more neighbors helped more neighbors,
and we all learned virtually to do anything.

For those of you who weathered
storms and basically arrived into
   the new year unscathed, you were
fortunate and blessed, indeed
