Psalms 119:105- Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

 

What were the lessons I have learned in life?

 

Love for my fellow man

Patience, strength,

Empathy, sympathy,

Perseverance, humility,

Hope, trust, and faith.

The most important is

That I can do nothing

On my own. I must have

My Lord Jesus at my side.

Constantly everything I am

Is because of him. He leads me.

He is the love of my life.

He gave all for me because

He loves me. So I in turn

Give my life to him,

For I love him.

-Fran Phillips
