I don’t know about you but I feel bombarded with choices most days. Should I have waffles or pancakes? Hair down or ponytail? Reach out to a friend or start laundry? Dishes or play a game with my kids? Chocolate or chocolate??? Sometimes it is a little overwhelming! What if I make the wrong choice?? What will I do? But really when we stop and think about it, some choices are the best choices overall and when we are making those, everything else falls into place. 🙂
Did you have a need today
To pray for help in any way?
Did you have a chance to share
The gospel message anywhere?
Did you notice blessings more
Than you did the day before?
Did you have a chance to be
Kinder then you meant to be?
Did you stop and look for good
Within the people in your neighborhood?
Were you more just like a child –
Humble, meek, and always mild?
Did you take the chance to read
Your scriptures more than just in deed?
Did you stop and listen to
The spirit as it spoke to you?
Did you humbly bow your head
And heed the words the Prophet said?
Or did you hold your head up high
And shake your fist up at the sky?
Harden your heart a little more
Than it was the day before?
Make the choice to get real mad,
Ignoring those who were real sad?
Take from those who were in need,
Let your heart consume with greed?
Mock the words that came from God,
Trample them like feet on sod?
Let your heart hold onto fast
All the things that will not last?
Take your trust from God to Man
Who changes like the shifting sand?
In this life we have a choice –
To listen to the still small voice
Or try to make it on our own
But maybe end up all alone.
We have the chance to choices make,
So which path will you choose to take?
