Doing My Job

I have a job to do, and periodically it behooves me to share with others why I do what I do, why I feel driven to persist in talking to you. I never know why I write what I write on a given day; I just write what my muse places on my heart, and I know that there is someone out there in this vast world who is helped by the words of inspiration that I pen. Everything that I do in this life of mine is geared toward, "Chopping My Row" for the Lord. Having said that, here is a poem that I penned for you today. Enjoy!

No matter what you see when you look at me

I am what God made me to be

I do what He sent me to do

As I live my life here below

And I will leave a legacy of inspirational words for you

When I am called back to my home above

-A legacy of words reminding you of God's love.

I shared His love with you as a teacher

Shared His love with you as the wife of a preacher

Shared His love as a speaker of ladies' day events

Shared His love wherever I was sent

Will be active in sharing until my sharing days are spent.

(So You)

Share to make a difference in somebody's down hour

Because you never know when one well-placed word

Can make the difference between despair and persistence

Causing someone to shine for Jesus by opening up like a flower

And show the world the awesome results of God's caring power

By not folding in upon himself/herself, but remaining dejection resistant.

(Say Again)

Tell your story, sweetie, and tell it loud and long

For the telling of your story may be the catalyst (tool) that

Causes someone to persevere and be strong!
