A WALK AND TALK WITH GOD

I took a walk into the woods, And come upon a creek;
With nature's beauty 'round me there, The fragrant smell was sweet.

The air was crisp and breezy, Birds chirping in the trees.
The water trickled over rocks as I knelt donw on my knees.

I prayed "Dear God, forgive me, If I've failed Thee today,
And help me walk the narrow path, That You set for my way.

And help me to do always what You would have me do,
To set a good example, Of the love that shines through You."

I know that God could hear my prayer, For the water seemed to still;
The bird's stopped chirping in the trees, Which surely was His will.

"Be still my child, I've loved you, from the day you were conceived;
I've walked beside you every day, Since when you first believed.

Now rise! and take My joy with you, To spread throughout the land
I lived for you ~ I died for you! Now go, and make your stand!

Go out and tell My children, Of the cross I had to bear,
So they could have eternal life, In heaven with Me there."

                                     Soliloquy

                                When evening comes, I meditate
                                   On what the day has brought,
                                  And do my best to understand
                                 What lessons have been taught.

                                   For I believe the reason why
                                    We have been given birth
                                Is we must meet the challenges
                                  That we face here on earth.

                                Life isn't just a one-way street
                                Where we can't lift our voices.
                                From birth until the day we die,
                                We're given many choices.

                                I have to question, did I try
                                     To really understand
                                  The needs of other people
                                   And lend a helping hand?

                                   If I will just remember
                                  To light one little spark
                         Which brightens someone else's life
                                  That otherwise is dark.

                              Then I may find contentment
                                     In doing what I can,
                            And know that there's a reason
                               I've been chosen for His plan.

God puts each new day into our hands as a gift to see what we will do with it. I hope tomorrow I will be more pleasing to Him than I was today. May God bless you with His wonderous love and grace.
Love & Prayers, Sandy
