('God is a name my soul adores')
Romans 12 v.9-13
******
Let love be without false show, see
There no dissimulation be
And nor tend to hypocrisy
But true and honest, sincerely
Abhor that which is evil, cleave
To that which is good, it receive
Be kindly affectioned one to
Another, and your love renew
In honour prefer each other
Each one, be sister or brother
And be not slothful in business
But being diligent, no less
Be fervent in spirit, serving
The Lord, yourselves unto Him bring
Rejoice in hope, and be patient
In tribulation, not relent
Continue on steadfast in prayer
All matters with your Lord do share
Distribute, help to meet folk's needs
And planting of the gospel's seeds

sounds impractical to me .. but then I'm in a rush ..
Thanks N. Doh! I thought it was practical. St Paul does not seem too hyper-spiritual, but remembers practical things. He was a tent-maker too. 'You made them tents yet, Paul?' I said, when I was standing in the rain waiting for him to finish one. lol.
Indeed my dear Mr O 🤗
Thanks T.
Good point. More people need more help, now or never.
Thanks 2.
Yes I couldn't agree more let us be sister and brother. Great write Orchi
Thanks sister, oops, brother! lol.
I love this Orchi, especially the last stanza. Would that we would all take it to heart.
Thanks Bella.
