Belang van balans

Die Prediker skryf dat daar 'n tyd is vir alles (Prediker 3:1-11).
As mens besef ons tyd is kosbaar en min, is dit soms moeilik om te verstaan.
 
In Julie Herbert se gedig, Balanced Life, deel sy haar gedagtes met die wêreld -


Every life needs some balance,
As there are always ups and downs.
Remember what they always say,
What goes up, must come down.
 
But if you live with that in mind,
And balance is the key.
You will find that doors unlock,
A little more easily.
 
And then there are times you may feel,
That downs are much more great.
Don't let this get you down,
 
Just change your mental state.
 
Think of what to do,
That could change the way you feel.
And balance will come back,
Balance will help you heal.

 
Gebed:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference, living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; taking this world as it is and not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.
