Help is coming...one day late

One of my most favorite songs of Sam Phillips is ringing in my ears tonight as I think of you. Enjoy the listen. Soak in the words.

One Day Late

Help is coming
Help is coming one day late
One day late
After you’ve given up and all is gone
Help is coming one day late
Help is coming one day

Try to understand
You try to fix your broken hands
But remember
That there always has been good
Like stars you don’t see in the day sky
Wait ‘til night

For help is coming
Help is coming one day late
One day late
After you’ve given up and all is gone
Help is coming one day late
Help is coming one day

Life has kept me down
I’ve been growing underground
Now I’m coming up
When time opens the earth
You’ll see love has been moving all around us
Making waves

So help is coming
Help is coming one day late
One day late
After you’ve given up and all is gone
Help is coming one day late
Help is coming one day
Help is coming
Help

"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice. But for those who love, time is eternity."
- Henry Van Dyke

"Therefore I will trust Him. Whatever, wherever I am. I cannot be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him; if I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends, He may throw me among strangers, He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me -- still He knows what He is about.”
- Cardinal Newman

"You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation."
- Plato

"Now that I've worn out, I've worn out the world. I'm on my knees in fascination. But I'm reflecting light."

“I want Thy plan, O God, for my life.
May I be happy, and contented whether
in the homeland or on the foreign field;
whether married or alone, in happiness
or sorrow, health or sickness, prosperity
or adversity – I want Thy plan, O God,
for my life. I want it; oh, I want it!”
- Oswald J Smith

“Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort
of feeling safe with a person; having neither
to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but
to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff
and grain together, knowing that a faithful
hand will take and sift them, keep what is
worth keeping and then, with the breath of
kindness, blow the rest away.”
- George Eliot

Every soul that touches yours –
Be it the slightest contact –
Gets therefrom some good;
Some little grace; one kindly thought;
One aspiration yet unfelt;
One bit of courage
For the darkening sky;
One gleam of faith
To brave the thickening ills of life;
One glimpse of brighter skies –
To make this life worthwhile
And heaven a surer heritage.
- George Eliot

“Comfort, comfort my people, says your God…
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
They will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
- Isaiah 40:1, 28-31

Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first
was made:
Our times are in His hand
Who saith, “A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God:
see all, nor be afraid!”
- Robert Browning

Lord, this humble house we’d keep
Sweet with play and calm with sleep.
Help us so that we may give
Beauty to the lives we live.
Let Thy love and let Thy grace
Shine upon our dwelling place.
- Edgar A. Guest

"Home is what catches you when you fall - and we all fall."
