Another Year That Came and Went!

This has been another year that came and went!

I often wonder, where has my time been spent?

It seems like yesterday, we rang in the new year!

But, very quickly, it has all just “disappeared.”

I think about my accomplishments, goals and dreams.

Do they matter anymore?  Do they mean anything?

This life I have, is just but a brief moment in time.

One day, I’ll simply leave everything fast behind!

My relationship with Christ is what really matters!

Everything else in life, is just “empty chatter!”

I pray that as this new year comes and goes…

My relationship with Christ will continue to grow!

The older I get, I’m beginning to see!

I need much more of Jesus, and less of me!

He is what’s needed!  Whatever this year holds!

I need him more, as each year I grow old!

With each year, that comes and passes me by…

I want more of Jesus, until the day I die!

He is my friend, what is certainly needed!

With him… My life is completed!

Thank you Lord for this brand new year!

You are the one I’ll hold ever so dear!
