"I call heaven and earth to witness against you today,
that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse.
So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,
by loving the Lord Jehovah, your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him."
Deuteronomy 30:19-20

Lord, give me the skill to undertake the correct actions,
and let me always take the right decisions,
always taking into account your wishes and regulations.

A good idea to halt all activity for one hour some day

"Perhaps it would be a good idea, fantastic as it sounds, to muffle every telephone,
stop every motor and halt all activity for one hour some day
just to give people a chance to ponder for a few minutes on what it is all about,
why they are living and what they really want."
- James Truslow Adams (1878-1949)

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Matthew 6:19-21

I realize that my welfare is not here on earth in this era.
Give My Lord that I during my life here
make the best of it and that I always will try to live according to your values and standards.
