I CHERISH PRECIOUS TIMES

I cherish precious times Along God’s vibrant love* Resolved midst prayed-for goal With joyous revival To fulfill assigned role. I cherish precious times With blest triumphant glow Encouraging me more To do by faith what’s good Yes, better than before. I cherish precious times Of radiant gladness Readily reaching-out Smiting selfishness force While subduing pride’s pout. I cherish precious times having jubilant hope Living by divine grace Sharing peace, showing care Each step upon life’s pace.
*1 John 4:16 - And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

This is an ideal poem to start the New Year. Beata you always inspire us with a deep yearning to be more humane by sharing peace and doing good to others and "encouraging us more to do by faith what’s good". May the New Year find you happy, healthy and blessed. May God bless you now and ever.
