Merry Christmas, everyone! :)

Live, Love, Hope, Praise and Worship

             “Make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.”

     Philippians 2:2 (NIV) 

 

Live as one who knows the truth
to all of life’s concerns.
Live as one who cares for all
and gives at every turn.

Love with every ounce of strength

and never dwell on grief.
Love each day as though your last
because our lives are brief.

Hope for all the good you can

from those who are inclined.
Hope for those in need of help
to live of common mind.

Praise your life for all you have

and all you get to be.
Praise this world you get to love
for truth has been decreed. 

Worship He who made it plain

how much He loves His own.
And worship He who gave His all
that we might all go home.
