What Are Our Lives' Colors?

Circumstances and situations do color life,
but you have been given the mind to choose
what the color shall be.
- Robert Holden

We are given ONE life in which to determine how we will color its pages? What colors will we choose, what lines will we draw, and where will we place each color? Each process offers its unique part in revealing the finished product. Will our Life's book be one colored to fit ourselves and our selfishness, or will we color it in shades of servitude with its splashes of color falling onto others lives? We have a choice you know.

True Examples

The Fairest is a Lady

The fairest of women is a lady, my friend
who warms every heart, charity not to pretend.
One honorably respected by her peers,
integrity’s beauty confirmed through the years.

She is concerned with others’ every need,
tenderly scattering love’s precious seed.
Careful not to take dignity away from a saint,
but setting encouraging words upon each plate.

If I can but possess one-tenth of her stature,

I will forever be grateful in that much to capture.
The fairest one, a lady having given her all,
supremely answering the ministry’s call.

I would like to give honor to whom honor is due. Many an influence has passed on but many are living - true examples for whom I am eternally grateful. Their ages vary, their locations scattered, and their personalities individual and unique but each has and continues to touch my life with words of wisdom and genuine concern - while always faithfully giving, without expecting anything in return. Each one is considered the fairest of ladies.
