"I Will"
Most mornings I find inspiration through the 3B’s Books, Bible & Blogs; however this morning it was through 3P’s Prayer, Praise & Poetry. As I finished praying; while listening to some Gospel music, I began to read through some inspirational poems. I came across this poem from an anonymous author… here it goes.
I WILL DO MORE
I am only one, but I am one.
I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
And what I can do, I ought to do.
And what I ought to do, by the grace of God, I will do.
I will do more than belong…I will participate.
I will do more than care…I will help.
I will do more than believe…I will practice.
I will do more than be fair…I will be kind.
I will do more than dream…I will work.
I will do more than teach…I will inspire.
I will do more than earn…I will enrich.
I will do more than give…I will serve.
I will do more than live…I will grow.
I will do more than talk…I will act.
I will be more than good…I will be good for something.

I will refrain from making all of the snarky comments I'm tempted to make about an alien blogpost on the positive aspects of the "I will" meme…OK, maybe just one. (grin)

Great poem, thanks for sharing!
But Scott, I do twitter! I even think yer following me. Dang those young whipper snappers and their new age fangled internet things. I was trying for humor. I often miss that by a mile and land on perceived sarcasm. Maybe I need a bigger (GRIN)?
