The Path
Two mothers
Two infants
One born to a family of believers
The others existing
The firt infant flourishes her path unknown
The second is sickly
Her path to unfold
Our Lord has many paths
for those he chooses to place upon this earth
Some paths are long...
Never seeming to have meaning
Some paths are short and purposeful
Yet, Meaning and Purpose
may elude those around and leave us to ponder:
The True Path Set Before Us
We can be assured
Our main path is to glorify our King
Our Heavenly Father
Christ
We may at times have questions
Never seeming to be answered
At times,
The answeres are merely outcomes
Of the circumstances
Surrounding our lives
In our own humanism
We overlook and are blinded to
the simplist answers
We Must hold true that all things do indeed
Occur to keep and guide us
On the path God has set for our Lives
Directly or Indirectly,
We shall inevitably produce
Gods purpose in our insignificant lives.
The one infant who seemed to have no chance
Was truly able to produce a very powerful
And significant testimony to Our Lord
Through her ordeal
She planted a seed of salvation
For her Loving Parents
I can see no greater gift
This young child could leave her parents
Thank to help them come to know
The Lord as their personal Savior
This young Life is proof of our purpose
Her parents are being guided to fulfill theirs
Because of her birth
They seek the Lord and he will be their comfort
