Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee: Jehovah make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. — Num 6:24-26

A profound conviction raises a man above the feeling of ridicule.
— John Stuart Mill.


A garden is a lonesome thing, God wot!
Rose plot,
Fringed pool,
Ferned grot—
The veriest school
Of peace; and yet the fool
Contends that God is not—
Not God! in the gardens! when the eve is cool?
Nay but I have a sign;
’Tis very sure God walks in mine.
— Thomas E. Brown.


Prayer

My Father, may this be a day of usefulness. Make me sure of myself, that I may not spend my days in questioning, but accept with gratefulness thy love and tender care. Make me worthy to be called thy child. Amen.
