042420 Pass It On Down ...



"Pass It On Down"
We live in the land of plenty
But many things aren't plenty anymore
Like the water from our sink
They say its not safe to drink
You gotta go and buy it at the store
Now we're told there's a hole in the ozone
Look what's washing on the beach
And Lord, I believe, from the heavens to the seas
We're bringing Mother Nature to her knees

Well there's a change taking place way on the mountains
Acid rain is falling on the leaves
And down in Brazil, the fires are burning still
How we gonna breathe without them trees

There's a place where I live called the Canyon
Where Daddy taught me to swim
And that water, it's so pure
And I'm gonna make sure
Daddy's grandkids can swim there like him

Now we all oughta feel just a little bit guilty
When we look into the eyes of our kids
'Cause brothers it's a fact, if we take and don't put back
They'll have to pay for all we did

So let's leave some blue up above us
Let's leave some green on the ground
It's only ours to borrow, let's save some for tomorrow
Leave it and pass it on down

Leave it and pass it on down...

Between winners and losers?

And do it, until the job gets done.

Time is free, but it's priceless.
You can't own it, but you can use it.
You can't keep it, but you can spend it.
Once you've lost it, you can never get it back.
- Harvey Mackay

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy,
The chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness.  
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation),
There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of
Which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:
That the moment one definitely commits oneself,
The Providence moves too.
- W. H. Murray

Our happiness depends on the
Habit of mind we cultivate.
So practice happy thinking every day.
Cultivate the merry heart,
Develop the happiness habit,
And life will become a continual feast.

Entirely new direction.

Is to be awake to the
Moment.

I Believe in Jesus ... 04112020



… I believe in the One they called Jesus,
I believe He died on Mount Calvary;
And I believe that the tomb was found empty,
And I believe that He’s the answer for me.

Living in the Shadow

When sin seems so pleasant,
And my will such a loss,
Please lead me dear Father
To the shadow of the cross.

When my strength I feel
Can carry me in the way,
Father lead me to the cross
And in it’s shadow help me stay.

When the trials of life seem so heavy,
The burdens too hard to bear,
Father lead me to the shadow
That I may see who hangs there.

Father, may my eyes be open
To the One who set me free.
May I live always in the shadow
Of the cross He bore for me.

- Jack H. Williams

May be his willingness to sacrifice
Something today for future generations
Whose words of thanks will not be heard?
