From "A Psalm of Life"
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still acheiving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
Love Always,
Melissa
I know.
Thinking is a very scary thing for me to do.
But I have been.
And I have deduced the following:
I am so extremely selfish.
All I care about is me. My needs now, what I want now. I so infrequently ask how people are doing. I want attention, but I hardly ever give it to anyone else. I want people to pray for my needs, but I hardly ever intercede on the behalf of the people I love. And this is so terrible!!
After all my Savior did for me, I must offer something in return though ministering to the saints.
To all of you whom I have dumped on without a thought, to those of you who I said I will pray for you and never did, for those of you who felt like I really wasn't listening, please accept my sincerest and most heartfelt apology.
So, tell me. How can I pray for you? How can I lift you up?
Blessings,
Melissa
