Isaiah 1: All nations shall stream toward it; many peoples shall come and say: “Come, let us climb the LORD’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.”
Romans 13: You know the time; it is the hour now for you to awake from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed; the night is advanced, the day is at hand.
Matthew 24: Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.

Thanks…

Rosemary’s Blessing:

it’s all a matter of surrender.
this one truth i’ve come to know.
nothing can be taken from you
once you’re willing to let go.

all the riches we have gathered
all the treasure that we seek,
all the earth and sky and oceans,
have been promised to the meek.

so, dance within the tune allotted,
whether it be brief or long,
pausing not to mark the measures;
rejoicing ever in the song.
