A Quiet Reflection Lord, the praise of self I won’t desire. For the glory of your name is higher, a so much better, nobler aim than any ilk of earth born fame. And though a false humility inside, is best eschewed, a kinsman to pride, if applause approaches me in any way, if admiration’s hand should greet me in my day, I’ll try and think to quickly turn it back demurely slipping into shadows black, that any lauding speech from men may come to rest with you again. 2/2001 SDJ [This message has been edited by Stephanos (edited 02-08-2001).] |

Beautiful Stephen, It is also from Him to lift one another up. A kind and thoughtful compliment can fill a needy soul and point him towards a God whose Love emanates from your heart. Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Stephanos, You are not only a conduit by which the spirit of God flows through, but you are a light radiant of His majesty and His glory and for this I do give Him praise... Love, Bob <>< |
