Lord, now that I am growing old The only treasures I possess Are the talents that you gave me Which bring much happiness You gave me a voice to sing Your praises every day Good health and a new knee To kneel on as I pray When I grieved, you urged me To write down all my thoughts And I have chosen to write about The wonders you have wrought And if just one person Is moved by what I write And by my humble words Faith in them ignite And if on Sunday morning They hear my voice ring out true And it touches them So that their faith they renew Then Lord, I’m grateful for these treasures And humbly give them back to you. |

Beatrice...this is truly lovely!! Thank you so much! The greatest thing you can do for another is not just to share your own riches...but to reveal to him his own. |

if we would admit it, I think that many of us would say 'amen'---and wish to touch the lives of one, just one...just anyone...thank you for your beautiful sharing |
