Always An Adventure

 verse 

New walk
Putting my faith
In God

God’s best
Is so much more
Than dreams

I’ve dreamed
Of grand missions
For Christ

Christmas
Means He gave up
His rights

His way,
And majesty
For me

For what?
Not so I’ll dream
With pride

Proud hope
Focuses on
Myself

Self-less
Obedience -
Our Christ

Christ, the
purest model
Of hope

My hope
To walk with Him
anew

A beautiful expression of faith, Reason! It flows like a mussetle and reads like a didactic...well done!! Hugs, Rhonda

Thanks, Rhonda, appreciate your comment,. I changed a couple of words to make it more personal, and maybe a little less didactic. Although I've done a lot of didactic pieces with intent, that was not the case here. Have a great day.
