The 10th

If you want your dream to be
Take your time, go slowly
Do few things but do them well
Heartfelt work grows purely
If you want to live life free
Take your, time go slowly
Do few things but do them well
Heartfelt work grows purely

Day by day, stone by stone
Build your secret slowly
Day by day, you’ll grow too
You’ll know heaven’s glory

If you want to live life free
Take your time go slowly
If you want your dream to be
Take your time, go slowly

‘Little Church’ (Donovan Leitch)

I think I used this Northumbria Community meditation (actually it's a song from Brother Sun Sister Moon, the Franco Zeffirelli film about St Francis) during Lent but it seems even more appropriate during Advent, which is more usually a time where we try to do way too many things and burn ourselves out. Do few things and do them well.

Today I found joy in leftover chilli, was thankful for my team at work and felt helpless about time getting away from me.

Scripture

No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house.

Matthew 5:15
