What Kind Of Life Have I Lived?
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

What Kind of LIfe Have I Lived?



 



During this past year, 



 what have I achieved?



And think about the things



 I received!



 



I think about the trials and mountains



 that have arisen…



What kind of life, have I given?



 



The times we’ve had together.



As a family normally would.



There are things I wanted to accomplish,



that I knew I could!



 



But there’s one thing most important



 that is a reminder…



What’s done for God is what I call



 the “ultimate decider!”



 



The treasures that I have in heaven,



are more precious than gold.



And will be a blessing to future



generations untold.



 



There are blessings from God,



  that  I’ve gained…



  I have very little room



to complain!



 



As this next year is before me,



and shall soon appear…



I know the coming of my Lord draws ever so near!



 



May I make plans to live with my beautiful Lord.



In heaven, may I seek to have my treasures stored…



 



Only in Christ … Will I find true



joy and contentment…



May I let go of any unforgiveness or resentment!



 



Thank you my Lord  for everything



 that you’ve given!



You’ve blessed us and are the



 reason I’m  livin’!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
