Good morning all. I have seen this one before , but thoght it was worth sharing.
THE ROAD OF LIFE
Anonymous
At first I saw God as my observer,my judge.
Keeping track of things I did wrong, So as to know whether I merited heaven or hell when I die.
He was out there sort of like a president.
I recognized His picture when I saw it, But I didn't know Him.
But later on when I met Christ, It seemed as though life was rather like a bike ride,
But it was a tandem bike, And I noticed that Christ Was in the back helping me pedal.
I don't know just when it was That He suggested we change places, But life has not been the same since,
When I had control, I knew the way, It was boring, but predictable... It wa the shortest distance between two points.
But when He took the lead, He knwe delightful long cuts, up mountains, and through rocky places at breakneck speeds, it was all I could do to hold on!
Even though it looked like madness, He would say, "Pedal!"
I was worried and anoxious and asked, " Where are you taking me?" He smiled and didn't answer, And I started to learn to trust.
I forgot my boring life, ASnd entered into adventure. And when I"d say, "I'm scared, " He'd lean back and touch my hand.
He took me to people with gifts that I needed, gifts of healing, acceptance, and joy. They gave me gifts to take on my journey.
My Lord's and mine.
And we wer off again. He said "Give the gifts away, They're extra baggage, too much weight,"
So I did, to the people we met, And I found that in giving I received, And still our burden was light.
I did not trust Him at first, to be in control of amy alife.
I thought He'd wreck it; But He knows bike secrets, know how to jump to clear high rocks, knows how to fly to shorten scary passages.
And I'm learning to keep quiet and pedal in the strangest places and I'm beginning to enjoy the view and the cool breeze on my face with my delightful constant companion, Jesus Christ.
And when I'm sure I just can't do any more,
He just smiles and says...[/color"PEDAL."
I trust you all have a very blessed Lord's day.
