Avoid those wars

"God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God."
NL Matthew 5:9

I am a gambler first of all
And so, when I need to decide
I throw the dice or draw a straw
Or flip a penny for my ride.

It seems there are so many voices
That try to tell me what to do
They lie to help me make bad choices
So, I trust God in what is true.

And when I seek to walk in love
Follow true choices from my heart
Seems like God's forever smart
Sends pure bright sunshine from above.

After it's over, I am free
As my destiny's in the stars
Leaves a little more time for me
To play, make peace; avoid those wars.

Avoid those wars.

Thank you, floria, for your kind words. I just believe that there is no way to lose. God always wins! Losing is just man's selfish perception. And it's always a lie! We just don't know the big picture. Of course those are just my crazy ideas. But they do keep me smiling.
