An Empty Page...

I gaze upon this empty page and wonder how to fill it.
I know my words are simple and yet important in their use.
Perhaps my thoughts conveyed would cause someone to smile.
Yet if I am careless, my words cause unintended pain I can't erase.

I gaze upon each brand new day and wonder how to live it.
I know my life is simple yet created for His unrevealed purpose.
Do I whine, complain and think of myself or think of others first?
Will my actions lift a burdened heart or ignore cries of searching souls?

I gaze upon the years gone by and wonder about my status.
I have Iaughed and cried, stumbled and fallen.  I learned and loved and grew.
But did I live those years in ways that served more than mere existence?
The time remaining is so precious for now the frailty of fleeting life is clear.

I gaze upon the faces of family and friends so dear to my heart.
Some are gone, some leaving, some still around yet not closeby.
I ask myself what have I done to touch their lives, their dreams, their souls?
For the path we walk together is brief and moments to love them are too few.

I gaze upon this moment now and wonder how to embrace it.
Each breath, each life, each prayer, each task deserve my total strength.
Each day is different.  Each step so precious.  No second chances to relive.
I acknowledge my weakness and lean on His guidance to use me for His best.

I gaze upon this empty page and wonder how to fill it.
I reach for Him.  He holds my hand and tells me He will lead me.
For all I try to do for Him will never quite suffice.
I know that only through His love, will my page be filled and lived, completely. ♥~thl

"Teach me Your way, O Lord, and I will walk in Your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.  I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever."  Psalm 86: 11 > 12
