There Are Days When

Oh, there are days when I still wonder why I'm here upon this place we call our Earth. And, there are days when looking at the sky, I wonder how or why or what it's worth to live each day like yesterday and then give in to sleep till dawn, as night demands, to then awake and find I start again... the same routines until the day disbands. But, there are days when it is all worthwhile to know that just 'to be' is God's great gift; the question 'why' brings me a little smile for only I have answers that can lift me when I know I've done the best I can, have taken pleasure in this gift 'to be', and that's the reason why my life began... to give and take with love...alive and free!

Sandra.. a fabulous introspection. I think we all have those days of asking why. And as we mature they turn to why not. God has a plan for each of our lives. We all show a different shade of his glory!
