Hello, Mary Alice the Writer here!
I gotta a question, are you LOADED?
Your "daytimer" that is.
Why do we think we should
pack more in?
Year-by-year
we’re on the go
making a good show.
Probably a light-bulb moment
here and there
has brought the thought-
“What is this all about?
Where is the gain in just
wearing myself out?
Is that really what I’m all about?”
Now scripture says; “Be still and know”
but on we go,
Well, just these few more things …
As King David said,
“As a weaned child he quieted his soul.
Oh yes, it’s far from always being on the go.”
Going where, when it’s all said and done?
I wonder, what is His chosen pace?
Oh, my word!
Certainly not this rat race!!
Is your quietness, deep inside
Isn’t it more important than
The merry-go-round stride?
Your greatest treasure, my greatest treasure, is not out-there, somewhere.
Your treasure, my treasure, our true rest,
is deep inside our breast.
Perhaps, staying in His stride
is what is meant by “Abide.”
ABOUT
Mary Alice is a writer and inspirational teacher. Her heart for children began when The Lord called her to be a nanny. She found that no less than strange having never married nor had she been around children in years! However, the mandate was clear, Make deposits in hearts of children from which they can withdraw the rest of their lives. She now makes deposits in hearts of all ages through her poetry.
