We must live life in this present – v2

We must live life in this present, this now,
walking the steps right before us,
we must strive ever forward,
we must never look back…
 
Our past may inform us on our journey,
but we cannot change history, what was,
we must move forward in this present,
ever forward, with every step in life…
 
We must live life in this present,
the days and minutes before us,
we must focus on each day, now,
finding joy in each moment…

The Earth in all its beauty – v2

The Earth in all its beauty,
the precision of nature,
is a monument, a testament,
proof of God’s love…
 
All of this is evident,
if we would stop,
if we would see it,
if we would listen to God
calling to each one of us …
 
The rainbow that forms,
after the torrent, the rainstorm,
is a promise, a testament,
proof of God’s love…
 
All of this is evident,
