Owe It All to Thee

The Extension of Favor

The favor shown in my life
From people who did not know
Why they favored me
The blessings You've let me see
I owe it all to thee.

Thinking Back

When I think about the blessings that have been and still are afforded me in my life, I have to say, "I owe it all to Thee." When I was a child and people singled me out to receive some gift or recognition, whether great or small, I used to wonder, "Why me?" I have even had so-called friends to say within my hearing, "Why her? I mean, nothing against you, Alma, but it does make you wonder why you were singled out from the rest of us. Anyway, that's the way it is, for now, and I am proud for you." You may have had similar comments made to you or made in your presence about someone else. At any rate, you know what I mean.

Paying It Forward

Now, I do not think as much about the why of a thing as much as I think about the good that I can do with it. I figure that since I have been blessed to do a certain thing well, then I am meant to share that thing. Hence you have my blog writing, ladies day speaking and YouTube videos. If a thought blesses my spirit, then I share that thought in the hope of blessing someone else's spirit. It's as simple as that.

In Conclusion

In living out my motto of, "Doing What I Can, While I Can Because I Care," I am trying to inspire, motivate, and encourage some people in their earthly walk to spread the love that the Lord has shown to them. Still others, I am trying to impart enough of the knowledge of the love of the Lord for them so that they want to get to know Him for themselves. One thing about it, "To know Him is to love Him." In short, I am lifting Him up, folks, as I shout to Him, "I owe it all to Thee!" And how far and how high will I carry this message of love that He has for us and I for Him? Like I told Him a long time ago, "I will shout this love from the tallest mountain in my world..."
