Today’s Poem ~ Song of the Spirit
Song of the Spirit
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
All the aim of life is just
Getting back to God.
Spirit casting off its dust,
Getting back to God.
Every grief we have to bear
Disappointment, cross, despair
Each is but another stair
Climbing back to God.
Step by step and mile by mile—
Getting back to God;
Nothing else is worth the while—
Getting back to God.
Light and shadow fill each day
Joys and sorrows pass away,
Smile at all, and smiling, say,
Getting back to God.
p. 26Do not wear a mournful face
Getting back to God;
Scatter sunshine on the place
Going back to God;
Take what pleasure you can find,
But where’er your paths may wind.
Keep the purpose well in mind,—
Getting back to God.
p. 27

🍎 Today’s Health Tip ~ A Safe Shopping Tip During the COVID-19 Outbreak
Skip the Self-Checkout
Self-checkout may be super convenient, but it’s also a surefire way to make contact with meddling microbes. . . . Imagine all the grimy hands that have touched the screen throughout the day. This germy picture grows even grislier if you consider that most people don’t follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for proper hand-washing practices (ICYMI, the CDC recommends scrubbing with soap and water for 20 seconds).
