Act - Reflect

We need the pattern and rhythm

Of action and of reflection.

We need to be in God’s presence—

It’s essential for life itself.

Never forget the wonderment—

We’re chosen for greater service

Than merely surviving entails.

We’ve been chosen to do God’s work!

Action for another’s welfare,

Is but “action” if it not be

For God’s holy glory alone.

Reflect on your motivation.

If you’ve done all for God’s glory,

If you feel God’s holy presence,

Actions taken for others are

Blessings given for you as well.

Although We Have Trials

Although we have trials,

Remember your hope

Your blessings are promised,

O Father, our Savior

Deliver us, Lord,

Whatever YOU wish

Will come to pass,

(In spite of, or with us.)

Your Gospel story

Will ever be told

(By us – or another.)

Help us to tell others.

When we’re in need,

Or when we have plenty,

Let not our great wealth

Keep us from You,
