Just an Ordinary Day

"Sometime some ordinary day will come,
A busy day like this - filled to the brim
With ordinary tasks - perhaps so full
That we have little thought or care for Him.

And there will be no hint from silent skies,
No sign, no clash of cymbals, roll of drums;
And yet that ordinary day will be
The very day in which our Lord will come."
- Unknown

"Therefore let us not sleep, as do others;
but let us watch and be sober."
1 Thessalonians 5:6

"Looking for that blessed hope,
and the appearance of the glory of the great God,
and of our Saviour Jesus Christ."
Titus 2:13

God Our father, I ask You that I can look out with peace of mind
to the last Judgement day
and that I will have the opportunity to enter Your kingdom.

"It has been my philosophy of life that
difficulties vanish when faced boldly."
- Isaac Asimov

Christianity is not a theory or speculation, but a life;
not a philosophy of life, but a living presence.
- Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.
- Author Unknown

Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and be a hero;
better to be content with poverty than to die a slave to wealth;
better to have taken some risks and lost
than to have done nothing and succeeded at it.
- Erwin W. Lutzer

"Praying always with all prayer and supplication ...
that utterance may be given to me,
that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,
for which I am an ambassador in chains;
that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."
Ephesians 6:18-20

Lord God, give me boldness to speak
and let me step over the problems.
Give that I always shall do well the tasks given to me,
that I ask in Jesus name, amen.

The work I do, let it be done good

"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause and say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers.
Pray for powers equal to your tasks.
Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle,
but you yourself shall be the miracle.
- Phillips Brooks

"We must begin to search for God in our workplaces.
God is already there, do not mistake you.
We simply have not trained ourselves to see our creator."
- William E. Diehl

Have thy tools ready, God will provide thee work.
- Charles Kingsley

"So, whether you eat or drink (sweep streets), or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31 

.." 'Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,
a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."
2 Timothy 2:15

Dear Father, Creator of heaven and earth,
I behold your works with joy.
I'm just a small worker on this earth,
but leave those tasks I performed be properly implemented.
And let others see my commitment and enjoy my work done.

 “As we live and move and have our being, so from this vision, we create heaven in our own lives… and perhaps even heaven on earth.”

“Aim at the earth and you may not get off the ground.

and you may even hit the stars.”

“When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”
