The Year is still quite new. We have used up ten days. It was great to meet our many friends in church and to enjoy worship and fellowship with them yesterday. There is a revival among our youth in the church. Thanks be to God.
Not by change nor happenstance
Into our lives come many things to break the dull routine,
The things that we had not planned on that happen unforeseen,
The unexpected little joys that are scattered on our way,
Success that we did not count on or a rare, fulfilling day -
A catching, lilting melody that makes us want to dance,
A nameless exaltation of enchantment and romance -
The unsought word of kindness, a compliment or two
That sets the eyes to gleaming like crystal drops of dew -
The unplanned sudden meeting that comes with sweet surprise
And lights the heart with happiness like rainbow in the skies.
Now some folks call it fickle fate and some folks call it chance,
While others just accept it as a pleasant happenstance-
But no matter what you call it, it didn't come without design,
For all our lives are fashioned by the hand that is Divine-
And every happy happening and every lucky break
Are little gifts from God above that our ours to freely take.
