Cherished Friends
God must have known there would be times
We’d need a word of cheer,

He must have known we’d need to share
The joy of “little things”

The happiness life brings.
I think He knew our troubled hearts
Would sometimes throb with pain,
At trials and misfortunes,
Or goals we can’t [...]

Of the life-giving water and air, that flow around it.
Carry this white rosebud into the holy chamber of your heart.
There, let it [...]

The house of God not made with hands,
A great High Priest our nature wears,
The Guardian [...]
(Attributed to the Maori of New Zealand)
The sun may be clouded, but ever the sun, Will sweep on its course till the cycle is run. And when into chaos the systems are hurled, Again shall the Builder, rebuild a new world.
Your path may be clouded, uncertain your goal, Move on, for the orbit is fixed [...]
