"To be exultant, good or strong, when praised or flattered by the throng --
"When circumstance and men conspire to raise us to a level higher --
"This was not hard:
"But if through long prosaic years we do not tire ...
"Can in small things be tried and true --
"This is to live as heros do!" -Joseph W. Sutphen
"LITTLE SONGS"
"Little songs are best!
"... The quiet ones your heart might sing -
"That hush may share what only God can hear,
"When Peaceful-Heart, in contemplation, listens near.
"God hears me smile,
"He feels my trembles.
"A little "thanks, Lord" said;
"or maybe something touching, precious, mumbles;
"He attends my daily Bread;
"Listens, longs, to hear my rambles ...
"He realy cares for me, you know;
"And, oh, - He says He loves you too!
"The song He sings to me is wondrous;
"And all He shares, He IS!
"I can't imagine what I'd do
"If caring ever ceased to share
"The little songs that sing their best
"To God Who's quiet song's - His Rest!"
--Dennis Rideout (webmaster, PilgrimsPath.org)
"Moment by moment
"step by step
"one by one
"day by day
"little by little!" --M.Taylor
"I'm only a little sparrow, a bird of low degree;
"my life is of little value, but the dear Lord cares for me.
"I know there are many sparrows -- all over the world they are found;
"but our Heavenly Father knoweth when one of us falls to the ground.
"Tho small, we are never forgotten; tho weak, we are never afraid;
"for we know that the dear Lord keepeth the life of the creatures He made.
"I just fold my wings at nightfall, wherever I happen to be;
"for the Father is always watching, and no harm can happen to me.
"I am only a little sparrow, a bird of low degree;
"but I know that the Father loves me; doest thou know His love for thee?" --Anonymous
