THINGS WORTHWHILE



These things make life
worthwhile to me:
A sunset sky, a maple tree;
A mountain standing grim
and gray
Against the skyline far
away;
A baby's laugh, a summer
breeze,
A roadway winding 'neath
the trees;
A friend to trust, a book to
read,
And work which meets
some human need;
And through it all, a sense
of God
Lifting my soul above the
sod;
The hope and peace which
He can give - -
These make it worth my
while to live.

A big thank you, as always, to Charlotte and Ginger who have been bringing us Sprititual Sunday for more than a year. We love and appreciate what you do!

All those things are gifts from God...I try and thank Him for giving me each day. And especially for Dear Bebe!

Beautiful poem, Jean. I'm glad you shared it. That elephant in your last post is "something else".
Hope you're having a wonderful Spiritual Sunday.

I like the line, "and through it all, a sense of God..."

Indeed, so many things all around us make life worthwhile and many don't even cost a cent!
