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,
