Matt 25:21 - "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'(NKJ)
Now, here's Mary....
In college I spent some time serving the elderly in a particular apartment complex. We ran errands, fixed things, and spent time talking. One woman stood out in particular to me.
Wisdom
“Enjoy your youth,” the woman said,
Imploring with her eyes
I could not grasp her full intent
But knew that she was wise.
“I was young once, just like you,
And felt I’d always be;
But now I look back with regret
On all I did not see.
If I could relive my youthful days
I’d get it through my head
That life is short and I must grasp
Each moment, each word said.
Don’t demand love from your friends
And don’t expect too much.
Love them each for who they are
Don’t use them as your crutch.
Look for ways to be content
With what God gives to you
That way you’ll not regret
And to His word You’ll be true.”
As she spoke she brought me
To a state of deepened thought.
I thanked God for wiser people,
Praying others could be taught.
