*title is Ralph Waldo Emerson quotation

       

Enthusiasm often is the reason
behind much-needed change and happiness.
Add zest to common sense and careful planning.
You hold the recipe to great success.

Though just the word “contagious” makes us fearful,
some things we spread are much to be desired.
Just think of how a smile and lively manner
spread through a crowd as others are inspired.

            ******************

The Bible speaks of our approach to living.
What gems of wisdom does the Word convey?
Do not be lacking in enthusiasm,
but serve the Lord with fervor* every day.

When Paul and Silas, jailed for their convictions, 
sang hymns at midnight, hearers found The Way.*
Good works and labor, do with verve and spirit
to please the Lord; that’s what some Scriptures say.*

  

 *Romans  12:11
   Acts 16  Jailor became believer, then family became believers.
		  The Way—Jesus
   Col. 3:23 and Ecc. 9:10, are examples.
