Thoughts I've been having lately.....

Life used to be about food, shopping, cleaning and ME
It was fun, I fit in well but I felt very empty.

Now I feel full, but very unsure,
I try and I fail, so I try, then I fail...

It's lonely and tiring, but hope fills my soul
Because I remember the end of the goal.

Then fear is replaced with something called hope
And I remember that with Him I can cope.

He's here for us always, His arms open wide
He loves us and wants us to return to His side.

We all do our best, that's all that it takes
If we do that, then He will make up for our mistakes.

It's wonderful really, this plan that He gave
We need only remember so we can be saved.

So now what I do with my life and you yours?
We should love and serve others, for that's how we find REAL JOY!
