BOOK 08, CHAPTER 2, PAGE 6

 

 

(Psalm 34:5- A variation)

How lovely are the faces

Of those who talk with God...

Lit with an inner sureness

Of the path their feet have trod;

How gentle is the manner

Of those who walk with Him!

No strength can overcome them,

And no cloud their courage dim.

Keen are the hands and feet, ah yes,

Of those who wait His will,

And clear as crystal mirrors

Are the hearts His Love can fill.

Some lives are drear with doubt and fear

While others merely plod;

But, lovely faces mark the ones

Who walk and talk with God.

GOOD MORNING !

More rain for us today, but getting colder so the snow will be returning. Yesterday it was in the 50's at this time, today it is in the mid 30's.

I’ve got an appointment for a hair cut after work today. I always try to schedule them about a month apart. It’s hard to believe that a month has gone by so fast. My hair is just now growing out to a manageable length as I’ve fought with it every day since the last cut.

I’ve got some hair in the back of my head that needs a longer length or else it tends to stick strait up. I tried to explain that to the gal who cut my hair, but…it was cut short short anyway. I think this will be her last chance as if it’s not done right this time I’ll try and find someone else. I don’t expect miracles, just a decent cut. We shall see…

My maternal grandmother was one of those ladies that fit the description above of one who walked and talked with God. She was such a gentle and kind person and was a good teacher too. She had the patience of a saint for sure.

But she liked to get her hair done and one of my aunts would always volunteer her services when she’d go to visit.

She would cut and style and also color my grandmother’s hair. I always knew when she’d been to visit as my grandmother’s naturally grey hair would be black. It was rather startling to be sure.

Enough of my reminiscing for today, I’m off to work once more…

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

You don’t have to be young…to form the habits of love.

It is never too late to choose them.

They can become your blessings

not just in old age but at any age.

You can start today to fill

your life with the happiness

they create, joy they share,

and oneness with God they bring.

You can open doors with your kindness,

open hearts with your helpfulness,

and open souls with your goodness.

God gives you a lifetime to learn the habits of love

and to share them with the world.

May you always delight in doing so.

Joseph J. Mazzella

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES

and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart .

MA
