Take time to ...

Take time to think, it is the source of power;
Take time to play, it is the secret of perpetual youth;
Take time to read, it is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to pray, it is the greatest power on earth.
Take time to be friendly, it is the road to happiness.
Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul;
Take time to give, it is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to work, it is the price of success.
Take time to do charity, it is the key to heaven.
Take time to love and be loved, it is a God given privilege.
Mother Theresa of Calcutta

I am going to try to take more time for the important things in life.
How about you?





Jesus, you are dayspring; an unquenchable light in a dark world.
Jesus, you are good; you do not change like shifting shadows.
Jesus, you are for me, who can be against me?
Jesus, you are my foundation; when all around me quakes I am secure in you.
Jesus, you are my provider, you meet all my needs.
Jesus, you are the truth; there is no duplicity in you.
Jesus, you are my joy; disappointment and anguish fade in your presence.
Jesus, you are faithful, you will never let me go.
Jesus, you are my righteousness; your blood cleanses me from all my sin and shame.
Jesus, you are my rock; I build my life on you and you hold me firm.
Jesus, in you my heart rejoices.

Did you know...
1) Psalm 118 is the middle chapter of the entire Bible?
2) Before Psalm 118, Psalm 117 is the shortest chapter in the Bible?
3) After Psalm 118, Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible?
4) That there are 594 chapters each before and following Psalm 118?
5) That if you add up all the chapters except Psalm 118, you get a total of 1188 chapters.
6) And incidentally, 1188 or Psalm 118 verse 8 also happens to be the middle verse of the
entire Bible.
The central verse should have a fairly important message don't you think?
"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man."
