REMEMBRANCE

When I am gone

Please remember me

As a heartfelt laugh,

As a tenderness.

Hold fast to the image of me

When my soul was on fire,

The light of love shining

Through my eyes.

Remember me when I was singing

And seemed to know my way.

Remember always

When we were together

And time stood still.

Remember most not what I did,

Or who I was;

Oh please remember me

For what I always desired to be:

A smile on the face of God.

The Promise Of Redemption

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

II Corinthians 4

THE DREAMERS

In the dawn of the day of ages,

In the youth of a wondrous race,

'Twas the dreamer who saw the marvel,

'Twas the dreamer who saw God's face.

On the mountains and in the valleys,

By the banks of the crystal stream,

He wandered whose eyes grew heavy

With the grandeur of his dream.

The seer whose grave none knoweth,

The leader who rent the sea,

The lover of men who, smiling,

Walked safe on Galilee --

All dreamed their dreams and whispered

To the weary and worn and sad

Of a vision that passeth knowledge.

They said to the world: "Be glad!

"Be glad for the words we utter,

Be glad for the dreams we dream;

Be glad, for the shadows fleeing

Shall let God's sunlight beam."

But the dreams and the dreamers vanish,

The world with its cares grows old;

The night, with the stars that gem it,

Is passing fair, but cold.

What light in the heavens shining

Shall the eye of the dreamer see?

Was the glory of old a phantom,

The wraith of a mockery?

Oh, man, with your soul that crieth

In gloom for a guiding gleam,

To you are the voices speaking

Of those who dream their dream.

If their vision be false and fleeting,

If its glory delude their sight --

Ah, well, 'tis a dream shall brighten

The long, dark hours of night.

The final sweetness

Lord: it is time. The huge summer has gone by.
Now overlap the sundials with your shadows,
and on the meadows let the wind go free.

Command the fruits to swell on tree and vine;
grant them a few more warm transparent days,
urge them on to fulfillment then, and press
the final sweetness into the heavy wine.

Whoever has no house now, will never have one.
Whoever is alone will stay alone,
will sit, read, write long letters through the evening,
and wander along the boulevards, up and down,
restlessly, while the dry leaves are blowing.

= Rainer Maria Rilke =

Happy Friday
