“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
Remind me that my days are numbered—
how fleeting my life is.
You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.
My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
at best, each of us is but a breath.”
Psalm 39:4-5 NLT
***
“This is our time on the history line of God. This is it.
What will we do with the one deep exhale of God on this earth?
For we are but a vapor and we have to make it count.
We’re on. Direct us, Lord, and get us on our feet.”
Beth Moore
***
Don’t be weary in prayer; keep at it; watch for God’s answers,
and remember to be thankful when they come.
Make the most of your chances to tell others the Good News.
Be wise in all your contacts with them.
Let your conversation be gracious as well as sensible,
for then you will have the right answer for everyone.
Colossians 4:2, 5-6 Living Bible
***
Pray when you feel like worrying.
Give thanks when you feel like complaining.
Keep going when you feel like quitting.
Dave Willis
***
Love does no wrong to anyone.
That’s why it fully satisfies all of God’s requirements.
It is the only law you need.
Romans 13:10 Living Bible
***
Live simply, love generously,
care deeply, speak kindly,
leave the rest to God.
Ronald Reagan
