Opportunities Calling

From Philippians 4:13:  “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”

Dreaming of tomorrow’s steps

Opportunities abound

Knocking now on hope’s doorstep

Unwavering faith aground

 

Staying awake and alert

Opportunities waiting

Willing spirit to assert

Seeing Father creating

 

Counting each heavenly star

Opportunities shining

Searching each earthly bazaar

Lauding Father’s designing

 

Taking more time to observe

Opportunities praising

Fulfilling notice to serve

Accepting grace . . . amazing!

From the words of Christian author and leadership speaker, John Maxwell:  “With the right attitude and a willingness to pay the price, almost anyone can pursue nearly any opportunity and achieve it.”

Charles Stanley Quote

Becoming who God created us to be is a lifelong process, which often occurs in small moments as we choose love over every other thing.

2 Corinthians 5:17:  “So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation:  everything old has passed away; look, new things have come into being!”

Just Another Day

Driving dusty country road

Spotting landscape’s mountain peak

Deciding to climb her now

 

Stopping at cozy diner

Feeling extra hungry now

Ordering one more entrée

 

Traveling to nearby park

Witnessing fall’s colors now

Taking plenty of photos

 

Locating brand new car wash

Seeing truck looks dirty now

Selecting supreme wash job

 

Seeing family in need

Buying them blessed, hot meal

Filling up empty tank now

 

Pausing, time with Father now

Praying for needs of others

Thanking Him for many gifts

 

Wrapping up for now . . . just another day!
