LIFE IS A LABOR OF LOVE

LIFE IS A LABOR OF LOVE


Life is a labor
Of love
For ALL of us


We CREATE
The life that we want
Because we BELIEVE IN LOVE
We believe
In what
We are doing


NO MATTER how difficult


For love-
LOVING GOD-
And loving others


Makes all
The difference in this world


“For this I labor
And struggle


In accordance
With the exercise
Of Christ's power
WORKING WITHIN ME” Colossians 1:29


WE MUST REMEMBER
That this world
Was CHANGED
For the better-once
Through the PERFECT LOVE
Of our Lord-Jesus Christ


And his Mother Mary


And today-we CELEBRATE
Mary's birthday
And her courage
To say “YES” to the ANGEL


“'I am the LORD'S SERVANT,'
Mary answered,
'May your word to me
BE FULFILLED'
Then the angel left her” Luke 1:38


For Mary
Life truly was
A LABOR OF LOVE


As she carried
Her son Jesus
For nine months


Her love
The love between
The two of them=Jesus and Mary


Jesus' PERFECT LOVE-
And God and the Holy Spirit
Changed the world


I too-MAYBE you too
Want to change
The world again
THROUGH LOVE


But we must remember
Our love-our work
Our HOPE come from
GOD ALONE


“YES-my soul
Find rest in God


My hope
Comes from him


TRULY-he is
My rock and salvation


He is my fortress
I will NOT
Be shaken” Psalm 62:5-6


There are
Many trials and tribulations
In life


But indeed
We CAN go on
We must go on


For our lives
Are a labor of love


For God-for others
And for ourselves


So like Mary-
Like-OUR PERFECT REDEEMER-Jesus


We continue
To move forward


As we sense Christ's POWER
Working within us


Let us create
The world we
Want to live in


A world BASED
On loving God
And loving others
(Even above ourselves)


For life is
A LABOR OF LOVE


Dear Lord-
LET IT BE
