On Worship

Gathered with our church family today for corporate worship and being reminded that...

When Man ceases to worship God,

he does not worship nothing 

but worships everything.

― G. K. Chesterton

Domesticity ~ Muddled Ideas

By Helen Louise Johnson 1906 

[Feminism] is mixed up with a muddled idea that women are free when they serve their employers but slaves when they help their husbands.

~ G.K. Chesterton

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. 

The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. 

She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.  

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 

"Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all."  

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, 

but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.  

Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.

Proverbs 31:11-12, 28-31

On Saying Grace

Saying Grace ~ Jean-Baptiste Chardin, 1740

You say grace before meals.

Alright.
But I say grace before the concert
and the opera,
and grace before the play
and pantomime,
and grace before I open a book,
and grace before
sketching,
painting,
swimming,
fencing,
boxing,
walking,
playing,
dancing,
and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.
~ G.K. Chesterton

Certainly a challenge to my own grace walk.
