A Saturday in mid-August

                        The theme of Saturday is Sabbath rest  

                                                       Hymn 653:  Tune; Repton        

O Sabbath rest by Gallilee! O calm of hills above, where Jesus knelt to share with thee the silence 

of eternity, interpreted by love! 

Interpreted by love! 

These are not the hills around San Diego, 

but the Galilean 

hills….

Friday evening

                                                        Psalm 141:2

Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense, 

the lifting up 

of my hands as the  evening sacrifice.

Rest in peace

my 

spirit 

languishes 

within me, 

you know my path 

“We find rest 

in those we love, 

and we provide 

a resting place

 for those who love us.”

Thursday Evening

                                                     Psalm 134: 2

     your 

     hands 

     in the

     and 

     bless 

     the 

     Lord, 

     the 

     Lord 

     who made heaven and

William Porcher DuBose English priest 1836 - 1918.

                                                        Psalm 131:3

     

     I still 

     my soul

     & make

     it quiet; 

     like a 

     child 

     on its 

     mother’s breast, 

     my soul  is quieted within me. 

                      A readers of the Daily Office Lectionary/ Forward Day by Day for decades, Dad's(& Mom's) life was bathed in the psalms and Scripture. He told me a number of years ago that this was his favorite plan verse, though he does not remember that now. He no longer needs to.

William Porcher DuBose 

“treated life & doctrine 

as a dramatic dialogue, 

fusing the best of con-
temporary thought &

criticism with his own 
strong inner faith".
