 Come close to God and He will come close to you

James 4:8

The Clock of Life

For some the Clock of Life moves slowly

For others it moves fast

And no man knows the hour of day

The hands will stop at last.

It’s said the clock is wound but once,

And God alone doth know

Just how and when the hands will stop

Or if they’re fast or slow.

So while our clock is running smooth

Let’s do our Father’s will

And give the world our very best

Ere the hands are still

By Robert H. Smith (1932 - 2006)

As my imminent move to Cedarbrook of Bloomfield Hills comes closer I will not need a favorite thing of 40 years here - a lovely wall hanging of walnut wood with gold and white print that I enjoyed while on the phone being “trapped on hold.”  While waiting, I would be calmed and soothed by the above words. At Cedarbrook I will be using my cell phone. No landline phone there.

I pray the Holy Spirit guide, comfort, and enable me to be the best He would have me be.
