NOT TO WORRY
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6,7

BEATRIX POTTER LIVES ON
"WHO are you?" said Lucie. " Have you
seen my pocket-handkins?"

The little person made a bob-curtsey--
"Oh yes, if you please'm; my name is Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle; oh yes if you please'm,
I'm an excellent clear-starcher!"
And she took something out of a
clothes-basket, and spread it
on the ironing-blanket.

C. S. LEWIS: BEING DEAD HE YET SPEAKS
It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.

THE BEAUTY OF LIFE IN CHRIST
"To a man who lives unto God nothing is secular, everything is sacred.
He puts on his workday garment and it is a vestment to him.
He sits down to his meal and it is a sacrament.
He goes forth to his labor, and therein exercises the office of the priesthood.
His breath is incense and his life a sacrifice.
He sleeps on the bosom of God, and lives and moves in the divine presence.
To draw a hard and fast line and say, 'This is sacred and this is secular,' is, to my
mind, diametrically opposed to the teaching of Christ and the spirit of the gospel...
Peter saw a sheet let down from heaven in which were all manner of beasts and
four-footed creatures, which he was bidden to kill and eat, and when he refused
because they were unclean, he was rebuked by a voice from heaven, saying, 'What
God hath cleansed that call not thou common' (Acts 10:15;11:9).
The Lord hath cleansed your houses, he has cleansed your bed chambers, your
tables... He has made the common pots and pans of your kitchens to be as the
bowls before the altar -- if you know what you are and live according to your high
calling.
You housemaids, you cooks, you nurses, you ploughmen, you housewives, you
traders, you sailors, your labor is holy if you serve the Lord Christ in it, by living
unto Him as you ought to live.
The sacred has absorbed the secular."
"In that day 'HOLINESS TO THE LORD' shall be engraved on the bells of the horses."
Zechariah 14:20 (see also vs. 21)
