Sabbath Keeping

"Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well. 

The prince and the judge ask for a bribe, 

and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul; 

thus they weave it together." 

~ Micah 7:3 ~

"What we weave in time we will wear in eternity." ~ unknown ~
"We sleep but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning." ~ Henry Ward Beecher ~

"Oh what a tangled web we weave,

When first we practice to deceive."

~ Sir Walter Scott ~ 

"Marriage is an authentic weaving together of families, of two souls with their individual fates and destinies - of time and eternity - everyday life married to the timeless mysteries of the soul." ~ Thomas More ~ 
"Each person has his own safe place - running, painting, swimming, fishing, weaving. The activity itself is less important than the act of drawing on your own resources." ~ Barbara Gordon ~ 
"Do you not know that there comes a midnight hour when every one has to throw off his mask? Do you believe that life will always let itself be mocked.? Do you think you can slip away a little before midnight in order to avoid this? Or are you not terrified by it? I have seen men in real life who so long deceived others that at last their true nature could not reveal itself...In every many there is something which to a certain degree prevents him from becoming perfectly transparent to himself, and this may be the case in so high a degree he may be so inexplicably woven into relationships of life which extend far beyond himself that he almost cannot reveal himself. But he who cannot reveal himself cannot love, and he who cannot love is the most unhappy man of all." ~ Soren Kierkegaard ~

"My life is but a weaving

Between my Lord and me;

I cannot choose the colors

He worketh steadily.

Oftimes He weaveth sorrow

And I, in foolish pride,

Forgets He sees the upper

And I, the underside.

Not til the loom is silent

And the shuttles cease to fly,

Shall God unroll the canvas

And explain the reason why.

The dark threads are as needful

In the weaver's skillful hand,

As the threads of gold and silver

In the pattern He has planned."

~ Benjamin Malachi Franklin ~

"He who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and you will see the effects when the weaving of a lifetime is unraveled." 
~ William Ellery Channing ~ 

"You are therefore no longer mere foreigners or persons 

excluded from civil rights. 

On the contrary you share citizenship with God's people 

and are members of His family. You are a building which has been 

reared on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, 

the cornerstone being Christ Jesus Himself, 

in union with whom the whole fabric, 

fitted and closely joined together, 

is growing so as to form a holy sanctuary in the Lord; 

in whom you also are being built up together to become 

a fixed abode for God through the Spirit." 

~ Ephesians 19-22 ~
