Reflection

Reflecting On Our Lives

The years flew by, while time was our teacher

I became mother and you were the preacher

There were days, that we did a lot wrong

being imperfect, our struggle was the "tongue"

Together, we shared joy and sorrow

all what was left is called "tomorrow"

Some days, I feel doing it over again

but those years we'll never regain

For past sorrow we don't have to mourn

to carry our burdens, Jesus was born

We better lift up our heads and go on

flying higher, till our time is gone

p.s.

It's hard to put my thoughts on paper

what lives in one's soul is like a vapor

It comes up then disappears just as fast

to catch the right words, is quite a task

Please, be so kind not to complain

for I've no words left for the refrain

For with Thee is the fountain of life: in Thy light shall we see light. Psalms 36:9

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord. Psalm 27:14

Glorify Him

Now sing a song, to praise His Name

'cause we're so mighty glad He came

He took our sins, He carried our share

He set us free and taught us His prayer

Fly as a free bird, let your light shine bright

so man may see God and glorify His Might

O Lord our Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the earth! Psalm 8:9

The Real Challenge

When you're young, the things life bring

seem to be exciting, for one thing

You'll meet new people and go places

you'll run short on time and phrases

For all the things, you see and hear

are so prominent for eye and ear

When you're older, you have a different view

at the fun you had and foolishness you did do

The episodes mankind goes through

suppose to teach us something new;

as time goes by these will pass away

only what is done for Jesus will stay

Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil. Proverbs 4:26,27

His Gift Of Life

How wonderful is His Love

and how thankful we can be

He is blessing us from above

with goodness for you and me

Therefore let's sing unto our King

with a new song in our heart

For life eternal He does bring

to us, who don't deserve this part

Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving kindness of the LORD. Psalm 107:43
