"Perfect Actions"
Once Upon A Time
Bright Moon Over The Ocean
Once upon a time in a land far away an amazing majic came to a boy who was swimming in the twinkling stary ocean. A bright shining star fell into the ocean under a night sky with a thin crescent moon shining off the waters. On a silent rock by the waters sat a boy from the island of peace. He stood up as the bright star fell into the ocean without a sound.

Well it was cloudy but the ski trip up the frozen river was wonderful; a couple of hundred feet wide and many miles long; the snowy surface had been covered with well groomed tracks to ski on. It took about an hour but I really worked up a sweat in temperatures just around zero. Not a soul out on the river with just a light dusting on snow falling.

English Lessons
from the days when
Meaning Was Conveyed Gracefully |
|
I delight to do Thy will, O my God: yea, Thy law is within my heart.--PS.
xl. 8.
|
A patient, a victorious mind,
That life and all things casts behind,
Springs forth obedient to Thy call;
A heart that no desire can move,
But still to adore, believe, and love,
Give me, my Lord, my Life, my All.
P. GERHARDT.

That piety which sanctifies us, and which is a true devotion to God,
consists in doing all His will precisely at the time, in the situation, and
under the circumstances, in which He has placed us. Perfect devotedness
requires, not only that we do the will of God, but that we do it with love.
God would have us serve Him with delight; it is our hearts that He asks of
us.
FRANCOIS DE LA MOTHE FENELON
Devotion is really neither more nor less than a general inclination and
readiness to do that which we know to be acceptable to God. It is that "free spirit," of which David spoke when he said, "I will run the way
of Thy commandments, when Thou hast set my heart at liberty." People of
ordinary goodness walk in God's way, but the devout run in it, and at
length they almost fly therein. To be truly devout, we must not only do
God's will, but we must do it cheerfully.
ST. FRANCIS DE SALES.
