ERE

God has a way of interrupting our lives so that we can find our real purpose in life.
This poem highlights my life before and after His intervention.

 

ERE

 

Before you changed my heart, I was selfish,

Proud, vain.

It was all about me: What I could gain

From jobs,relationships,the deals.

Winning was the main goal, and with zeal

It was pursued at all costs.

But you interrupted the life I'd planned!

Now you are my guide.

And because you are by my side,

My daily desire, and goal, is to please you

In all that I do,

As I pleased myself ere.

"As I pleased myself ere." True! No wonder it is written: Lean not to your own understanding! Well done, Barbara!

Yes, an unexpected change in life
is a challenge for growth...knowing
we are not alone...when we stumble...
feel misunderstood...lonely and in pain...really helps...
Thank you Barbara, for the great
reminder.
God Bless!

With your background, I'm surprised that you couldn't do that by yourself. I have.
