HOW IS GOD LOVING ME – AND WHERE IS GOD LEADING ME?
Five Minute Friday: Ahead
I look ahead; I’m eager
for the plans I have in mind.
I look around and find that
You are cheering from behind.
I look ahead; I’m fearful
and my mind is filled with dread.
I look within and hear You
saying, “Look to me instead.”
I look ahead; I’m worried
for the ones I hold so dear.
I need not look around me
to know You’re always near.
I look ahead, so joyful
for the moments yet to be!
You are always at my side
and You celebrate with me.
I look ahead, uncertain
of the paths I’ve yet to roam.
Then I feel Your hand in mine…
Yes, You will lead me home.

Beautifully written and true.
I’m having a hard time looking ahead, now…nonetheless…
In the dark of night I wept
from cancer’s all-consuming pain,
then rose (although I had not slept)
to work upon my aeroplane
whose wings span living room and hall,
whose motor oils the kitchen floor;
when done, we will knock out a wall
for it will not go through the door.
But that, of course, is if I live
to see the job completely through,
but to this quest I’ll gladly give
all and more that I can do
for it’s hope that leads be on
long past when I should be gone.

This came in perfect timing amid our country’s grapple with worldly stuff. I printed it off. It goes with me everywhere, including errands. Yesterday some impatient person felt the need to laaaay on his horn cause I was busy reading and didnt look “Ahead” to notice the light had changed to green…oops, sorry buddy! Had I had a copy of [Five Minute Friday “Breathe”] I could have offered it to him 🙂 (ok, I’ll reel myself in…my sense of humor is starting to show!) Seriously Karen, your posts, for me anyways, are always so relevant and timely. I thank God for your gift and I thank God for you!!
