Thought for Today

CAST NOT A STONE
Cast not the first stone, my friend,
When someone goes astray;
When a brother slips and falls,
Lift him up instead and pray.
Pass not along the sordid news
Of someone’s sin displayed;
Lift him up and help him stand
Because for him you prayed
~~~~Kay Hoffman~~~
Don’t wait to do what should be done
That you have long delayed –
For we are not assured the grace
To live beyond today;
And we cannot return from death
To what we left behind,
To do some deed we should have done
For God or humankind
Don’t wait to speak the words of love
Another waits to hear;
Don’t wait to hug, in warm embrace,
Some heart you hold so dear;
And wait no more to share your wealth
With charities in need
Or beg forgiveness of the Lord
For hidden, sinful deeds
Today is yours to do or say
What you have long delayed –
That should be said – or should be done
Before your judgment Day;
And you, dear heart – just you alone –
Know what you’ve left to do
To better complement your life
Before this day is through

As we go about enjoying this beautiful and peaceful Sunday let us keep those fleeing for their lives in our thoughts. Today I learned that another boat with immigrant sunk off the Greek Island of Lesbos. Fourteen people are feared dead including a five year-old child. Let’s say a word of prayer for them. So much turmoil in the world…if only we as humans had the capacity to love one another, what a difference it would make.

Pope Francis visit to the United States next week will be a historic one.
Many people are waiting with excited anticipation for the Pope’s visit.
Let’s hope that good will prevail and that his visit will be incident free.

The Key of Choice

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then for that is just the time the tide will turn.
