How do you view success? How often do we view things of this world as the most important? But what if we have it wrong? And true success is the simple things that no one sees us do each day, but bring us closer to God? Would you change your habits if you knew this to be true? Humble Christ-like habits are always worth the effort!
He may be just a farmer with a plow,
20 chickens and some cows.
He may grow the food his family eats
And be the kindest that you meet.
But that’s not the most important work he’ll do –
Grow the food for me and you.
Because the things that earn him his Gate key
Are the things he does that we don’t see.
Each time he humbly bows his head
Before climbing in his warm bed.
Each night he Leads his family’s prayers
Before they tiredly climb the stairs.
Quietly Filling his family tree
With names another didn’t see.
The way he’s never second guessing
When someone asks him for a blessing.
How he humbly takes on each new Call
But feels like soon he’s going to fall.
That its not a sacrifice
To attend the temple more then twice.
How he fills his home with love
And lots peace just like a dove.
Keeping Promises that he’s made
And not letting each one fade.
Yes, The things that earn him his Gate key
Are the things he does that we don’t see
And How he always tries his best
And lets Jesus fill in the rest.
