No Setting Sun

No More Night!

Each day I’ll do a golden deed,
By helping those who are in need;
My life on earth is but a span,
And so I’ll do the best I can.

Life’s evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days, and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done,
Where there will be no setting sun.

I know it's fall but going through some pictures tonight, I came across these lovely pictures of sunsets I had taken while at Gulf Shores, Alabama a few years back. Stunning if I must say so myself!

While looking at them, that old hymn came to mind, to which I printed a couples of the stanza's above. No more night people...praise the Lord, no more night!


***And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. Revelations 21:25***

As Time Goes By

I don't know about you but I am acutely aware of the passage of time these days . It will be soon the end of September! Soon it will be October and then blink your eyes and it will be Christmas! Then it will be 2010!

Oh my!


Zoom, zoom, zoom!

***So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Psalm 90:12***

Leader Of The Dance

Every once in a while, you get an e-mail passed on to you that touches the heart in a special way. This is one of them I received recently and thought you might enjoy as well. Hope everyone has a great Labor Day holiday today! I worked last night and am now just getting home, so I suppose I will be sleeping! Blessings everyone!
Dancing With God

When I meditated on the word Guidance,

I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.

I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.

When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.

The movement doesn't flow with the music,

And everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.

When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,

Both bodies begin to flow with the music.

One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
Or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.

It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.

The dance takes surrender, willingness,

And attentiveness from one person

And gentle guidance and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.

When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "u" and "I".

"God, "u" and "I" dance."

God, you, and I dance.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust

That I would get guidance about my life.

Once again, I became willing to let God lead.

My prayer for you today is that God's blessings

And mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.

May you abide in God, as God abides in you.

Dance together with God, trusting God to lead

And to guide you through each season of your life.

***Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; Psalm 30:11

***Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Psalm 25:5
