A Charge to Selfless Servanthood

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.  And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same ...  But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.  Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Luke 6:32-36

For though I be free, from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
1 Corinthians 9:19

For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mark 10:45

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:9-10

Stones Under Rushing Water

Why don’t we
Dance anymore
I’m not okay with that
Why don’t we
Laugh anymore
I’m not okay with that

The years go by
Like stones under rushing water
We only know
We only know
When it’s gone

Why don’t we
Smile anymore
I’m not okay with that
Why don’t we
Dance slowly
I’m not okay with that

‘Cause the years go by
Like stones under rushing water
We only know
We only know
When it’s gone

This room is quickly becoming my new favorite room. I love the colors. I can't wait to get the designs on the walls.

Psalm 121

I will  l i f t  up mine eyes unto the hills,

from whence cometh my help.

My help cometh from the LORD,

which made heaven and earth.

He WILL NOT suffer thy foot to be  m o v e d:

he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD is they keeper:

the LORD is they shade upon they right hand.

The sun shall not smite thee by day,

nor the moon by night.

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil:

He shall preserve thy soul.

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and they coming in from this time forth,

and even for evermore.

~ L. M. Montgomery

"A Pair of Fine Eyes"

I read Pride and Prejudiced for the first time.  The depth the book shows of their love being rooted in the nuances of character displayed by their conduct and great attention to manners was intriguing.  I've fallen in love with etiquette and attention to how we ought to treat people all over again.
