On our boat, lately we have had conversations about time management: how do I not over extend myself so I have some down time? Sound like a familiar conversation?
So imagine our surprise when we show up at church song the following hymn by William Henry Davies "What Is This Life." (Words below).
What a reminder that we are all paid in sun rises and sun sets, if we but take a moment to appreciate them. What a reminder that Sabbath Time is so important for our well being, for our souls.
Blessed Be,
Joel
What Is This Life
What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare - no time to stand beneath the boughs and stare as long as sheep or cows;
No time to see, when woods we pass, where squirrels hide their nuts in grass - no time to see, in broad daylight, streams full of stars, like stars at night;
No time to turn at Beauty's glance, and watch her feet, how they can dance. A poor life this if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare.
William Henry Davies (1869-1941)
