WHAT DOES IT TAKE ?

What does it take to make you happy ?
   What does it take to make you blue ?
Is there anything special today
   that you should plan to do ? 

Right now — right now — count your blessings !
   Your Heavenly Father loves you.
Your life reflects your response to Him;
   Ask Him what is best now to do.

Somebody may observe you,
   seeing what you are doing today;
Would your example be helpful,
   like what you do ?  or what you say ?

Someone might come to mind today, 
   someone from a long time ago.
Maybe it’s your opportunity ?
   Pray, even if details you don’t know.

Weather predicted to turn bad,
   Oh, such boring news to hear;
What can our politicians do?
   Well, pray for them:  isn’t that clear ? 

And ask the LORD for good health, 
   energy, and His protection;
Keep on going with a smile !
   Read the Bible for His directions.
