Tune: Sussex
(one tune to 'Father, hear the prayer we offer')
Colossians 3 v.23 & 4 v.2-6
*********
Continue in prayer, be watching
in the same with thanksgiving
Live wisely among all people
Glorifying God in all
Redeem the time, it now waste not
Make most of appointed lot
Let your speech be always with grace
That others your meekness trace
Speak with grace, and seasoned with salt
Not promoting blame or fault
But be wise, that you may know how
To answer each person now
Whatsosever you do, so do
It heartily, even you
Do it as to the Lord, not [as to] men
What does please Him once again

Good one again Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
Thanks UNCLE STEVE fo a very inspiring POST ! You & Fido are our Guiding Angels ! Lovely Hymn ~ Beautifully rendered ! Lovely admonitions (good word) from Colossians ~
Continue in Prayer
Redeem the time (carpe deim)
Speak with grace
Do everything as unto the LORD !
This is just the advice we need as Angela returns to the UK. I will return to My Flat and Angela will back with her Parents (a very luxurious Pad and a Cellar full of RIOJA) til we are married ! People have asked why we are not (at the ages of 36 & 31) not moving in together ? My answer (which will please You & Fido !) is for the TESTIMONY ! I am an ELDER in the Church and Angela & I are Youth Leaders. Also it is also a TESTIMONY to my Students (aged 17 to 35) and Angelas Clients. Like You and other Committed Christians "WE are in the WORLD ~ but not of the WORLD ~ AMEN*. We are on our way Home via Hawaii ! Check our collaboration Poem tomorrow *BLUE HAWAII* no HULA GIRLS !
Blessings to YOU & YOUR Blue Pencil Beagle
Love in the SPIRIT ~ BRIAN & ANGELA
