5 Tips for a GREAT response
Otto Koning

A new path lies before us;
We're not sure where it leads;
but God goes on before us,
providing all our needs.
This path, so new, so different
exciting as we climb,
will guide us in His perfect will
until the end of time.

Linda Maurice

The happiest business in all the world
is that of making friends,
and no investment on the street
pays larger dividends,
for life is more than stocks & bonds,
and love than rate percent,
and she who gives in friendship's name
shall reap what she has spent.

Take time to be holy,
take time with your Lord;
Abide in Him always,
and feed on His word.
Make friends of God's children;
Help those who are weak;
forgetting in nothing, 
His blessing to seek.

Take time to be holy,
the world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret
with Jesus alone;
by looking to Jesus,
Like Him you will be;
your friends who are watching 
His likeness shall see.

Take time to be holy,
let Him be your guide,
and run not before Him,
whatever betide;
in joy or in sorrow,
still follow your Lord,
and looking to Jesus,
still trust in His word.
