Keep on keeping on

Along life’s road are obstacles

Our choice becomes a test;

Let’s seek wisdom to know our way

That we might choose what is best!

Keep on keeping on

Do not give in to stress

Take it one step at a time

Until you’ve gained success!

Practicing hospitality

The greatest love is shown when a person

 lays down his life for his friends.

I have been reading about a people who show 
 outstanding hospitality to their guests,
offering protection and great kindness towards them.
 There is so much joy in sharing with a friend!

There were two sisters and a brother

 who loved to have their friend over.
 They would sit for hours on end
 to chat or go for walks
 and think deep thoughts.

One day one of them was so busy fixing dinner
while the other sister simply sat at her Rabi's feet
 to listen to Him.
This caused the busy one to complain
 and she asked her friend to scold her sister
 and tell her to help with the chores.
 "Martha, Martha,  you are so worked up
 and fretting  but your sister has chosen the best part
 and I will not take it from her!".

The best part of our day is listening to our Teacher,

 the one we love, the one who is our guest!

We can still go about our chores,
 getting busy and all
but we do not need to fret!

The more we work together,
 the happier we will be.

We are never alone
when our hearts are tuned to Him!

Loving one another

Dear brothers,
I am not writing a new rule for you to obey,
for it is an old one you have always had,
right form the start.
You have heard it all before
yet it is always new,
and it works for you
just as it did in the past;
and as we obey this commandment
to love one another,
the darkness in our lives dissapears
and the new light of life shines in!
