Happiest of Weekend to you
as you/we rediscover and explore
the eternal wonder of
Love,
making worthwhile
every mile
every smile,
every tear,
every task
And stunning us
with so much more
Than we could think of ask
-ing for…
This not-so-secret ingredient
makes mundane ‘musts’ an honor to perform
Suddenly because of love
joy takes the heart by storm
as wonder wakens worship
and worship begins to brim
turning the very common chore
to hallelujah-hymn
Today’s chores include potluck prep for
tomorrow’s lunch…
It makes the sacred difference
In everything we face
The action and the consequence
Humbled and honed by grace
It heaps the heart with thankfulness
And softens Want’s reply
With a replenished happiness
That money cannot buy
It sweetens would-be commonplace
And purifies intent
And tunes the motive in life’s race
With awe and compliment
It is simple, yet so profound
Cheering pauper and king
It turns time into holy ground
And sweetens suffering
…because its joy runs rife with pain
Yet none can get enough
Of what none can fully explain
The greatest of these; love

Love equips/compels us to willingly walk
where without it, we would not
1 Cor.13:13
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.
2 Cor.5:14-15
For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus:
that if One died for all, then all died;
should live no longer for themselves,
but for Him who died for them and rose again.
