We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life. |
"Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success." C. S. Lewis "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." C. S. Lewis “I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now... Come further up, come further in!” ― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/1059917-the-last-battle “The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.” J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” J.R.R. Tolkien |
The temperatures are newly cold with Christmas almost here. The wrapping paper's neatest folds show gifts so wondrously clear. "Please, help me, Lord, to keep these days of Christmas in my heart. How swiftly they run with light displays to the end from whence they start. "Your great Son's Birth is why we joy. December's full of light. Please, make it last more than a toy, and fill us with hope so bright. "Please, give us Christmas joy all through the year, until the days of lights and decorations new, with love and kindness obeyed. "Eternal life when this one's done, so blest by sights and sounds. Please, gift our loved ones by Your Son, that ever Hope abounds. "The Greatest Gift, that sunny morn was Jesus living new. Salvation's Bliss from death was torn. The work of Life was through. "Please, send Your Invitation's Call (John 6:44) to those we know and love, and to the rest, whose 'life' is pall, the canceled debt remove. "'Amen,' we cheer. God's Christ has come. We pray in Jesus' Name. The new year's Hope be His dear Sum to rest, no more in shame." by Jay O’Toole on December 19th, 2022 |
