Life to the fullest. Full as can be.
Do I really want that? The good life isn't free.
Trouble is near. Take the bad with the good.
Praise God for both? I've been told that I should.
So often caught up in
what's the "to-do" list today
I forget to get past
the obstacles
so clearly in my way.
The grey will rain,
there's cleaning to do.
"I'm not able"
- someone's better -I'll leave that for
the other to-do.
The other to-do
list that's mine
or a to-do list for another.
Either way - it can wait
after all - there's
"alway's tomorrow".
We think that's the case
as we live out our days
then we look at the calendar and
sometimes feel crazed.
Oh - my! How the days
have flown by us this year!
Where did they go?
What did I hold most dear?
Was it my loved ones desires?
As I intended "to-do"?...
or was I really in fact waiting for
a better time for each "to-do".
To Do
Ta Da
When will we be done?
When can we have days that are
filled only with fun?
How about on that day
when we follow the Son.
We "all" want to. We try to. We say that we do.
Yet, is it on our to-do list - ? - to say
"Christ, I'll follow you!"
I'll follow you thru this day,
lead each step that I take.
Remind me to follow
with every mistake.
But how do I know
that I'm on the right path?
Because you give me sweet clues,
and say "What you have a need for - Just Ask!"
I can see in the way
that you've answered my prayers
that you've guided me
even when I've denied you were there.
When I've felt to myself so proud
to have done
something wondrous
others say wow!
I deny that the Son
gave me the
gift that I needed.
I say Thanks! Yes, it's good, ...
just a little conceited.
Every word that I say
should show THANKS!
that God has led me this far
and he's leading me today.
If that's not how I act
and that's not what I say,
then maybe - just maybe
I am going the wrong way.
