Leaves of Life - August 2

AUGUST SECOND

The Holy Supper is kept, indeed,
In whatso we share with another's need;
Not what we give, but what we share,
For the gift without the giver is bare;
Who gives himself with his alms feeds three,
Himself, his hungering neighbor, and me.
?James Russell Lowell.
 
And when o'er storm and jar I climb,
Beyond life's atmosphere,
I shall behold the lord of time
And space?of world and year.
O vain, far quest! not thus my heart
Shall ever find its goal!
I turn me home?and there thou art,
My Father, in my soul.
?George Macdonald.

That they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us; for in him we live, and move, and have our being.
?Acts 17. 27, 28.

O Lord, my gracious Father, may I not be so eager for more, that I feel I have nothing to spare. Help me to realize that if I may be on the mountain-top, or at the level of the sea, thy spirit may dwell in my soul. May I rejoice that I can always receive and share thy grace and love. Amen.
