For Every Choice We Make...

Many of us who know him, have the privilege of watching/walking beside/praying for this dear man, Richard Haverkamp, (author of the above book)caring for his beloved wife, who suffers from dementia, and is now in a long-term care facility, but he still spends most of every day with herand is finding beneath this heavy load, The God who is (still) real!!He has chosen to be faithful for better or worse, for rich or poor, in sickness and in healthtill doth doth part! He is proving to her that loves her with all his heart!Please pray for his strength and encouragement!It makes me re-evaluate my choices;how they reflect who I most love! Do I honor God by loving those well that He has placed in my life?With every choice there is a 'consequence/recompense'.May we strive to be conscientious as we speakthrough the voice of choice!For we either honor God with our choices, or dishonor Him! For every choice we make there is a sacred price to payFor better or for worse we bless or curse the gifted dayWith thought and word and deed we heed or disregard the HandThat stays the stars and splays the bars of dawn by His command The sacred voice of choice reveals the heart of you and IIt proves who we love most without word-clout to clarify/justifyFor better or for worse we bless or curse the Hand that grantsGoodness and mercy for each reason-seasoned circumstance The winding Path of Aftermath runs through our do-and-sayFor every choice we make there is a sacred price to payHow often we forget, as we are met with ‘me or Thee/thee’For every choice we make love takes responsibility © Janet Martin Romans 14:11-13 For it is written:“As I live, says the Lord,Every knee shall bow to Me,And every tongue shall confess to God.”So then each of us shall give account of himself to God.Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.
