PRAY FOR PEACE –

“Whenever we con-
front a difficulty that
we do not think we can
handle, we ask God [or our
Higher Power] to do for
us   what  we  cannot
do for ourselves.”
(The Basic Text,

“We receive His
peace when we ask
Him for it. We keep His
peace by extending it to
others. Those are the
keys and there are
no others.”

– Marianne Williamson (1952 – ) U.S. spiritual author / speaker

Ask Me – The Smiths (2:59)

A Town Mouse and A Country Mouse

The Country Mouse one day invited his friend to come and see him at his home in the fields. The Town Mouse came and they sat down to a dinner of barleycorns and roots the latter of which had a distinctly earthy flavour.

The flavour was not much to the taste of the guest and presently he broke out with “My poor dear friend, you live here no better than the ants. Now, you should just see how I fare! My larder is a regular horn of plenty. You must come and stay with me and I promise you shall live on the fat of the land.”

So when he returned to town he took the Country Mouse with him and showed him into a larder containing flour and oatmeal and figs and honey and dates.

…

The Country Mouse had never seen anything like it and sat down to enjoy the luxuries his friend provided. But before they had well begun, the door of the larder opened and some one came in. The two Mice scampered off and hid themselves in a narrow and exceedingly uncomfortable hole. Presently, when all was quiet, they ventured out again. But some one else came in, and off they scuttled again. This was too much for the visitor. “Good bye,” said he, “I’m off. You live in the lap of luxury, I can see, but you are surrounded by dangers whereas at home I can enjoy my simple dinner of roots and corn in peace.”
