The Little Joys of Life

Posted on by Marla

Those little moments when Joys become burdens
We are focused on what comes next
Instead of the here and now
Feeling trapped in a sea of littleness
Wanting something else, we give up bliss…
Frustrated and impatient, wondering about all this…
Grab hold of the right now…and never let it go
For when it’s gone you’ll understand and wish it back even though
Those moments have gone, and so…
The loss you feel will be greater than the letting go…
Take each moment that you live and live it to the full
For those Joys will be grown, and one day will leave your home
Empty, wishing they had not gone…
Words to the wise…Capture each sigh
And turn it into life…embrace the Joys that are at your side…
Little Joys, of moments, spent side by side…
Add up to a lifetime ago…
Grab hold of them and never let them go…
And when you’re old; and body bent…
You’ll be thankful for, each little Joy; sent
To make your life content!

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
