Consider the Lilies.

When times are bad and days seem blue,
Pause a moment! Consider your ways,
But don't, don't stop believing in yourself.


When friends forsake you, and no one seem to care,
Just a moment! Think again, what about your family?
But never, ever doubt your self-worth.


When everyone seems to be abiding with the worldly pleasures,
But you're here stuck in between two choices,
Pause again! You are what you respect yourself to be.


When you're faced with anxiety,
often bombarded with the worries of life,
Consider-Would it make much difference to worry of what would be of tomorrow?


When you know you can't change the world,
And knowing that things would not always go as you'd like,
Do consider, however-that CHANGE can first begin with your OWN.

Where are you heading?

If there is an appropriate day, date or time to do something for yourself,
It is NOW.

The Difference.

I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.


Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered.
He answered "You didn't ask"


I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, "But you didn't seek."


I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock."


I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.

Persistence,
Patience,
Perseverance.

Are you there, yet?

It's a sign of relief knowing that,

"You're Almost There!"


Nonetheless, just when you think you're done,
a new journey has just begun.
