DEEDS, BRAVE
This prayer in verse is by Harry P. Ford:
Our Father, God, while life is sweet
With earthly joys that round it cling,
Grant us brave deeds, for heaven meet,
To shape the dreams that death may bring.
(708)
DEEDS, HEAVENLY
A cripple girl on a train was presented with a bunch of roses by another girl on board. She held them to her lips, and prest them to her bosom, and fell asleep. Later her father came in from the smoker, and took his little daughter in his arms. Waking up, she said: “Oh, father—I’ve—been—in—heaven—and—I’ve—got—some—roses.”
Deeds of love make a heaven.
