('Oft in danger, oft in woe')
Philippians 4 v.7-9
**********
What things daily think upon?
Grow more Christ-like as God's Son
Think on things true and honest
Noble, so you shall be blest
Things just and pure and lovely
These shall be satisfactory
Things of good report, and see
If there things virtuous be
And if any praiseworthy
Think of these delightfully
And things which we have here learned
From believers, be not spurned
What we have received and heard
From them, even each good word
And what we have in them seen
Of Christ, freely do, not mean
So the God of peace shall be
With you here e'erlastingly
His peace keeping hearts and minds
Through Christ Jesus, each one finds

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.7.7.7. format. The thing I'm thinking of right now is whether to sing again. A threat or a promise to ya from me?! lol. It's neither lovely nor virtuous, nor any of the things in the poem. heehee.

Doh! I'm not practising what I'm preaching, cos I'm gonna sing! lol.
You remind me of how often people act before they think these days. It's good to exercise the brain, as well as the body. Good write my friend.
Thanks Bella. Did one say somewhere (who?): 'Engage brain before opening mouth'?! Oh, from Proverbs 15 v.28 I discovered.
Good one Orchi
