Thoughtful Living

Creator to created we come into being
Image to image yet not duplicates
Individual to individual we are the children
carrying the gift of love and thought
we are free to chart our own course

It will not be an easy course on smooth waters
there will be high seas and rough weather
but there is the promise of final success
a guarantee we will make it through
for we are eternal as our Father is eternal

We will learn to gain faith by believing
to gain love by giving love in all situations
to receive compassion by being compassionate
We will learn to not judge nor condemn others
but to savvy the differences of those unlike us

Though we may posses knowledge and wisdom
we will remain humble to all we meet
understanding they are a part of Father as we
greet them with patience and peace in our heart
willing to forgive and forget with loving kindness

When the lessons are over we will be anew
by giving our life in the service of others we
become closer to Father who gives us everything
His heart to ours as we grow to become like Him
being a child of whom He is well pleased
