With what shall I come before the Lord
    and bow down before the exalted God?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
    with calves a year old?
 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
    with ten thousand rivers of olive oil?
Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression,
    the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
    And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
    and to walk humbly with your God.     Micah 6:6-8

Twas new to me, yet old to some

This thought to me has become

  A revelation of the way we all should live throughout the day;

For as each day unfolds its light,

We’ll walk by faith and not by sight.

Life will indeed, a blessing bring,

If we SEE GOD IN EVERYTHING.  

A. E. Finn
