Although The Threads Of My Life Have

Don't Bother To Give God Instructions; Just Report For Duty.

Child, You Have To Learn To See Things In The Right Proportions. Learn To See Great Things Great And Small Things Small.

Hold Loosely To The Things Of This Life, So That If God Requires Them Of You, It Will Be Easy To Let Them Go.

Mama's Love Had Always Been The Kind That Acted Itself Out With Soup Pot And Sewing Basket. But Now That These Things Were Taken Away, The Love Seemed As Whole As Before. She Sat In Her Chair At The Window And Loved Us. She Loved The People She Saw In The Street-- And Beyond: Her Love Took In The City, The Land Of Holland, The World. And So I Learned That Love Is Larger Than The Walls Which Shut It In.

Lord, We Claim Your Strength To Serve You, No Matter What Our Circumstances May Be. Amen.
