Ric's Inspirational Verses

Do Not Be Anxious

Let nothing disturb me,

Let nothing frighten me

Let nothing take away my peace

May I wait with trust, with patience,

knowing You will provide for me

I lack nothing in You, God

You are my strong foundation

You are enough for me.

~ St. Teresa of Avila

Bernard Berenson, an internationally famous art critic, had a zest for life. Even when he was in ill health, he cherished every moment. Shortly before he died at age 94, he said to a friend, “I would willingly stand at street corners, hat in hand, asking passersby to drop their unused minutes into it.” Oh, that we would learn to appreciate the value of time!

We certainly don’t want to be so time-conscious that we become driven workaholics, neglecting our families, never relaxing with our friends, too busy to smell the roses or admire a sunset. Yet Paul urged us to redeem the time and Moses prayed, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom”.

Let’s ask the Lord to help us appreciate the value of time. May we wisely invest our seconds, minutes, hours, and days, realizing that beyond time lies eternity. ~ by Vernon C Grounds - Our Daily Bread
