Daily Signet

Angels don’t create new. Their work is fixed. They sing the same old, appointed songs of praise. Dead men don’t create. Alive is our only chance to create. You, more than the angels, are appointed to sing a new song, a new song of the eternal, anew each day. Your unique song, born of the love of the Christos in you for the earth of you. How do you accept your human, Godly appointment to create God’s word and will through your efforts on God’s earth? As Charles Dubois, says, “The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become.”

Henry James born 1843 in New York City, died 1916: writer.
Works: The Innocents, What Maisie Knew, The Portrait of a Lady
Quotes: “Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind, the second is to be kind, the third is to be kind.” “Live all you can. It’s a mistake not to. It doesn’t so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you haven’t had that, what have you had?” “Under certain circumstances there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.”
