Soul Searching

No Time, No Time....

I knelt to pray, but not for long.
 I had too much to do.
 I had to hurry and get to work, 
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer, 
 And jumped up off my knees. 
My Christian duty was now done.
 My soul could rest at ease....
All day long I had no time 
To spread a word of cheer.
 No time to speak of God to friends.
 They'd laugh at me I fear.

No time! No time! TOO MUCH TO DO!
 That was my constant cry, 
No time to give to souls in need
But.... at last the time to die.
 I went before the Lord,
 I came, I stood, with downcast eyes.
For, in His hands God held a book,
 It was the book of life.
God looked into His book and said:
"Your name I could not find.
I was going to write it down....
 But, I never found the time."

Treasures In The Garden

Another to do list for today.......

 

Think positively
Breathe deeply
Live simply
Hug tightly
Give generously
Laugh loudly
Smile brightly
Love unconditionally
Speak kindly
Dream nightly.

.......to keep on track of nurturing the soul.

 

My word for today is "nurturing"!

 
 

Echoes of Kindness

Treasures In The Garden

Can you take time today to speak a kind word to someone in need?

 

Kind words can be short.

 They are so easy to speak. 

Kind words cost so little,

 but their echoes are truly endless.

The Magic of LOVE!

Treasures In The Garden

LOVE is not selfish.
It is understanding and kind.
 It observes with the heart
and never with the mind.
Love is the purpose 
that each person seeks - 
Love is the language 
that each person speaks.
 Love can't be purchased
it is without price
and perfectly free....
Love like pure magic,
is a sweet mystery.
