Be as friendly as a puppy,
An example to us all,
Welcoming everybody,
Black, white, short, tall;
A complete bundle of love,
Inquisitive and inspiring,
Giving joy constantly,
And like God’s love never tiring.
“Happy is the man who is able to love all men alike.” MAXIMUS the CONFESSOR.
Dear God, may I be good,
The way I know I should,
Let Your love be my food,
And please don't let me be rude;
Let me love You all the while,
Let Your love inspire my smile,
May I always be kind,
And help others of mankind.
“Love thy neighbour, even when he plays the trombone.” JEWISH PROVERB.
I like to be with people,
But also to be alone,
For it's then I connect more with God,
And realise my soul is his home;
It's nice to be involved,
To be part of a throng,
But silent prayer and meditation,
Is now what I care for and long.
"Let him that would move the world, first move himself." SOCRATES.
My parents tried to teach me,
But I did not understand,
I thought they were old-fashioned,
On my own feet I wanted to stand;
But this route led to trouble,
And lots and lots of pain,
Until I re-connected with lovely God,
And a new relationship gain.
"All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all." CECIL FRANCIS ALEXANDER.
