It was an invitation to the London Book Fair
along with the announcement of its postponement
due to Corona Virus issues...
I am not interested in the London Book Fair for a certain price; however, I appreciated some quotes the email included:
1) No one walks a path the same way.
2) There isn't anyone you couldn't learn to love once you've heard their story.
3) Please don't have a nice day. Have a day that matters. Have a day that's true. Have a day that's honest. A nice day? Mmmm, you'll be miserable. Have a day that means something."
With Cornona news penetrating our brains, we may have forgotten that it is spring. While studying Hosea this same morning, I read Oh, that we might know the Lord! Let us press on to know Him! Then He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.
This too shall pass was a phrase often used by a friend's mother. It's origin comes from a Persian poet. All things must pass comes from the Bible. Matthew 24
Instead of simply waiting for it all to pass, lets have a day that matters, have a day that means something. A friend of mine is making face masks. Others are sharing childcare responsibilities. Our daughters are working from home and setting up home-schooling routines for their children. Call those who are isolated and lonely. Send a card. Pray. Pray.
Purpose in life is the meaning of your existence. It's nothing that comes like a thunder-bolt. Sometimes, it's the little things you accomplish to survive on a day to day basis. Or, to help someone else survive on a day-to-day purpose.
Ephesians 2:10 reads For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
We were created to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Have a day that matters.
We're all just walking each other home...
...We're fascinated by the words--but where we meet is in the silence behind them.
Ram Dass
