Joy Unspeakable

Posted on Aug 10, 2011 | Tags: | Comments (0)

When my children see me do they recognize the JOY I claim to have?
Or do they have to search me, hopping past the sour burdens that I choose I drag?
Do I speak their praises, do I train them with a smile?
Or do I make them wonder if their presence is even worthwhile?
Every single day I am helping mold them into children of God,
Will I follow His lead or on His grace will I trod,
by always being bitter, angry and unforgiving,
Will I model Christ only in theory, while modeling a life not worth living?
Or will I be filled with joy unspeakable - a joy they can see?
For days and years on end they are watching me,
And how I choose to live whether in peace or in strife,
I can be assured they will mimic how I live my life.
