THE PURPOSE OF LIFE
MARCH 1st, 2012
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
