Options...


He does not ask of us, some grand
Unreachable request
He simply graces hearts and hands
Then longs to see our best

Before our feet touched down today
We passed no written test
But soon enough our lives will say
If we give it our best

He who gives, does not require
But if we would be blessed
It is prudent to aspire
To give to Him our best

This life is a buffet of choice
Within each choice, a test
But there is a soft inner voice
To help us do our best

He does not ask of us some grand
Unthinkable request
He simply graces hearts and hands
Then longs to see our best

  1. I like that line... He simply graces hearts and hands...to do our best.

    Our best work.... I heard a writer say that once... that every time we sit down to write something, let it be 'our best work'. Something about that phrase inspired me.... not just get it over with, but always offering the gift of our 'best'.

    Thank you Janet for your gift today!

    Bloggerly hugs.......
