Reflection

Age old question....Why am I here?

Sometimes I sit and ponder Lord
"Why have you put me here?"
What great gifts do I have to offer"
None come to mind I fear
I was never a brilliant Scientist
Laboring to discover a cure
Nor am I a gifted Poet
Producing great literature
I'm not a learned Physician
With the power to save lives
Nor a Soldier in battle
Striving to survive
What was your Master Plan
When you chose to give me life?
Am I destined to live it forever
A victim of pain and strife?
When will my burdens be lifted?
Will I ever be free?
Lord, help me to understand
Why you have chosen me

Please excuse my tag,but your work moved me to do so as my reply...Thank You for sharing this with us.

What Choice ?
Our path is often long and difficult indeed,
our life is often told in the stories that we read,
our paths are often chosen by the lives that we lead,
Our path is often long and difficult indeed,
when it is our own time,God will show us what we need...
our paths will often cross,and sometimes even toss,
some friends we will need others will cry and try to bleed
some will give a hand out while others will always need,
Our path is often long and difficult indeed,
when it is in our own time,God will call the Angel he needs...
