God, Be With Me

God be in my head, and in my understanding
God be in mine eyes, and in my looking
God be in my mouth and in my speaking
God be in my heart, and in my thinking
God be at mine end, and in my departing.

—Sarum Primer (16th century)

Hmm, really like this.  Really like that in the 16th century it is the head that understands, and the heart that thinks.

What Am I Doing?

I can't take credit for this one, it arrived in my inbox-- it made me consider the value of the time I might waste.  It caused me to ask, "Am I paying attention?" 

By definition, faith in Yeshua is an active faith, it is a doing faith.  What am I doing?  Am I paying attention to how I spend my time?  Am I placing the appropriate value on me, on others, on my time?  Am I doing anything of consequence?

To realize
The value of a sister/brother
Ask someone
Who doesn't have one.

To realize
The value of ten years:
Ask a newly
Divorced couple.

To realize
The value of four years:
Ask a graduate.

To realize
The value of one year:
Ask a student who
Has failed a final exam.

To realize
The value of one month:
Ask a mother
Who has given birth to a premature  baby.

To realize
The value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize
The value of one minute:
Ask a person
Who has missed the train, bus or plane.

To realize
The value of one-second:
Ask a person
Who has survived an accident.

What I do with my time is very important.  Through YHWH, I can accomplish much... if I'm aware.

Reevaluating,
