“Let the teaching of Christ and His words
keep on living in you. These make your lives
rich and full of wisdom. Keep on teaching
and helping each other. Sing the Songs of
David and the church songs and the songs
of heaven with hearts full of thanks to God.
Col.3:16
Teach us, though in a world of sin,
Heaven's bless'd employment to begin,
To sing our great Redeemer's praise;
And love his name and learn his ways.

You can give without loving,
But you cannot love without
Giving.
- Amy Carmichael
For a crowd is not company;
And faces are but a gallery of
Pictures; and talk but a tinkling
Cymbal, where there is no love.
- Francis Bacon
Do not keep the alabaster boxes
Of your love and tenderness sealed
Up until your friends are dead.
Fill their lives with sweetness,
Speak cheering words while their
Ears can hear, and while their hearts
Can be thrilled and made happier by
Them.
- Williams Childs
