I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
history keeps repeating itself. and sighz. i am gg to extend again! tsk! is a remarkably frustrating for me but im praying to God for grace AND a good attitude to see this. i guess Ps Yang really hit the nail on its head for the msg today. we cant change the circumstance but we can change our attitude and perspective towards the circumstance. i have to admit it was with no joy that i agreed (if i did agree) to stay. i think the thing i hated was that i felt taken advantage of my kindness and soft heartedness by my boss. and i wasnt willing or even wanting to help till aug... BUT since i cant get out of this lousy situation, all i can do is to face it with a positive attitude instead of pulling a long face and hating it whenever i think of it.
GRACE GRACE IS WHAT I NEED!! AND JOY IS WHAT I NEED FOR GOING THRU THIS!
some trials are self-inflicted.. some trials are put in by the Lord Himself... wat's mine? i think both...
but thru this stupid trial, i again seen the side of me that i have never seen before... and landing myself in deep deep sh*t! argh!!
