For the Love of Us All

THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

Every day

In the newspaper

In this country

There are obituary notices

Psalm 90

Talks about

The brevity of life

And in the Bible

God promises 70 years

80---if we are strong

Knowing this

I ask myself

What is

The purpose of life

I believe

The answer is

The same today

As what we were taught

When we were children

To know, love

And to serve God

We have

Many people in our lives

That we love

ALL these possessions

That we love

ALL these people that we love

All these possessions

That we have

Are gifts from God

I think sometimes

We become so in love with the gifts

That we FORGET THE GIVER---GOD

Every day

God gives us a gift of 1,440 minutes

To use as we wish

Dear Lord

We just want to say thank you

For our family and friends

Those that we have had

And those

Who are still with us today

And we want to say thank you

For this gift of today---

ALL 1,440 minutes

May we use

A few of those minutes

TO KNOW---TO LOVE---AND TO SERVE YOU TODAY
