I'm trying...

At bed time,

we have a routine. 

Read books,

rock in the chair,

and sing songs.  

We usually sing primary songs.

I just feel like they are so relaxing,

and meaningful at the same time.

The other night I sang Gweny

a primary song I hadn't heard for some time.

"I'm trying to be like Jesus"

I'm trying to be like Jesus

I'm following in his ways

I'm trying to love as he did

In all that I do and say

at times I am tempted

to make a wrong choice

but I try to listen

as the still small voice whispers,

Love one another as Jesus loves you

try to show kindness in all that you do

be gentle and loving

in deed and in thought

for these are

the things Jesus taught.

I love those words.

Every word in that song is true.

I need to strive every day to be like Jesus.

To be gentle and loving

in deed and in thought.

My goal this week is to do just that.
