These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

A Living Doodle

A doodle is quite fun to draw,
but it has meaning still.
The days of life by God's Own Law
conform to His Own Will.

I move, and run, and sleep, and wake
to draw my doodle line,
and when that's done new steps I take
to show God's Gift is kind.

Around, around, and round, again,
I'm running with each breath.
My hope to live without my sin
won't happen, 'til my death,

But daily life marks on the page
with blue lines and some red,
until the canvas and the stage
are fully marked and fed.

I pray my acts and will are blest
so led by God Above,
that when I've faced each daily test
the end result is Love.
(Philippians 2:13)
