A Lot on My Mind

Good morning, folks. I awoke this morning with a lot on my mind. And I have found that when that happens, I need to be about whatever lay on my mind so heavy as to awaken me. There are some aspects of being an author that I had never seriously considered, but that is different now. Uhm, humm, have to look at the business end of it more. Hmm-m, will keep you posted as needs be. I was not slow in rising this morning, I got up at my usual time (with the chickens) (tee hee) but my brain has been doing the things that awakened me since. (tee hee) Now it is past time for me to get to my blog and I do apologize for the later start than usual.
     Today, I thought that I would do a poem for you on being insignificant. I hope that it encourages and inspires you.

Just a Little Nobody

I told you yesterday that I am a 

Little nobody who hails from Tennessee

And that it awed me when I considered

That the God of all humanity

Is for sure mindful of me.

When I look back on my life

I can see that nobody is who

I have always been

And that no longer bothers me

Because I have learned to be

Who I am as I try to work for

The One who holds the keys to my eternal destiny.

Now, I know that He

Will often use a little nobody

To do a particular job for Him

I just never in a thousand years figured

That that little nobody would happen to be me.

I pinch myself now and again

To see if I am awake and if what

I think that I perceive happens to be real

Is there something special just like my

Momma told me a long time ago

That I am given to do 

Whew, this thinking has me going a bit

Can you imagine how I feel

Yeah, I know you can because you know

How you would feel if this situation was about you.

Still, I am a little nobody who hails from Tennessee

Who will go where she is sent and do as she is bid

As long as the God of all Creation keeps loving me

As He does, and says, "Fear not, for I Am with you

And I will bring you safely through."

So, if you feel insignificant and a little nobody, too

Just keep doing your best to give Him your all

For it remains to be seen what special plans He

Just might have for you

Because the Lord looks on the heart of man

And sees things that only He can.

In short, make sure that what you are doing is 

Worth doing and keep doing it to be true

For it doesn't matter what man sees because

God discerns and sees the real you.

Doing What I Can, While I Can Because I Care,

P. S. - As you can tell from the poem, I do have a lot on my mind this morning. Actually, I do most mornings, I just gave voice to it this morning. (tee hee)
