God's Recipe

 

 A cup of joy

And a dash of love

Will keep God's happiness

Flowing from above.

A pound of hope

With kindness packed beneath

Will keep your heart

Tender and sweet.

A barrel of patience

And a spoon of peace

Will calm your soul

And your wrath will cease.

A yard of gentleness

And a foot of grace

Will keep you traveling

At a steady pace.

When these ingredients

Are mixed together

We can sail right through

Life's stormy weather.

 

~ Wilma J. Williams

 

Bless the Lord, my soul; do not

forget all the gifts of God.

Psalm 103:2
