Make The Most Of Life
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles
As we grow older, have we ever felt that we are not needed? If we have, know that we are greatly needed by those who need help along life’s troublesome (and many times, extremely harsh) way. The following poem by an unknown author encourages us to provide whatever help we can to folks with whom we interact in our every day Christian walk. May God be glorified as we let our light so shine before men (Matthew 5:16; cf. Luke 10:25-37):
If you have shared another’s load
Or eased another’s pain,
If you have soothed another’s soul
Life has not been in vain.
If you have cheered another’s heart,
Or made a sad face smile,
If you have calmed another’s fears
Your life has been worthwhile.
If you have said a tender word
Or dried another’s tears,
If you have spread your share of love
Then you’ve been needed here.
If you have lent a helping hand
Through times of care and strife,
If you have done a little good
You’ve made the most of life.
