Tune: Serenity
('Immortal love, for ever full')
1 Corinthians 10 v.30 - 33
*********
Whate'er you do, what eat or drink
Let this mind you bethink
To do all unto God's glory
So you His children be
Give no offence to anyone
To Gentile daughter, son
Nor to the Jew, nor to the church
Of God, He does us search
Seek to please all people in all
Things, help them stand, not fall
Not seeking to our own profit
But others benefit
For their profit, that many be
Saved, and the Saviour see
By faith, so we evangelise
That all gain Christ, [the] high prize

Please ALL People Orchi?
Phew... I may be some time!
Thanks for todays uplift!
Thanks Andrew. How long will you be?! lol. In another verse, St Paul says 'Live at peace with all people, as much as it is possible'.
There was a reason Paul was a saint... and there it may be
I strugggle with Peace with myself sometimes
Try as one might.. you are of course write...... tis impossible ..N
Oohh I know - no one's perfect - only me! Now I must eat humble pie. How do ya make it?!
Thanks for an uplifting HYMN & POEM Uncle Steve ! BRIAN & I work with PEOPLE rather than in the Manufacturing Sector. This give us ample opportunity to be CHRISTLIKE in our work ! As a PHYSIO I have to tell my CLIENTS *No GAIN without PAIN* but i always say it with a big smile ! Also GOD has given me a lovely SOOTHING & HEALING touch. Clients who are CHRISTIANS often ask me if I'm a CHRISTIAN so i must be CHRISTLIKE in my attitude & actions ! If its permitted I wear a CROSS and I always have a BIBLE at Work & also Gideon New Testaments. We can place Gideon Bibles in Bedside Hospital Lockers : If we request permission ! Its 8:30am (SAT) here so I have to check on Brian to make sure Hes packed & pristine for the FLIGHT ! I'll try not to CRY @ the Airport : but I know I will !
Blessings & Joy for YOU & FIDO
Yours as always A & B 🧡🧡🧡🧡 + 🧡
Thanks B&A. Fido can comfort too. He only gets fierce if naughty people don't mark poems 18+ when they should be! Then he flies into a raging fury. lol.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
