To sit still,
And contemplate,
The beauty,
Of lovely God our mate:
To realise He’s all around,
But also within,
Seek Him constantly.
To be full of His vim.
“You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.” TEILHARD de CHARDIN.
The singing of a choir,
Does always inspire,
Singing in harmony,
Full of peace and serenity;
Each wonderful note,
Each lovely word,
God bless choirs everywhere,
For singing that's superb.
“Nurture your mind with great thoughts for you will never go higher than you think.” BENJAMIN DISRAELI.
Whatever I now write.
Whatever I now say,
I would have made fun of before,
That would have been my way;
But pain forced me to listen.
And take spiritual advice,
To look at the beauty of prayer,
And the wisdom of the wise.
"There is nothing good or bad, but thinking made it so." SHAKESPEARE.
Food can be a temptation,
My appetite I have to restrain,
For if I eat too much,
My body will be under strain;
It can be very tempting,
There are cakes and biscuits galore,
But I ask God to discipline myself,
So that my weight doesn't bulge or soar.
"If the mind is serene, you will have very good health." SIVANANDA.
