Why does it take death before some grasp hold of life?

Why does it take almost losing someone before they appreciate having them?

Why do some go about blindly before they realize all that they have?

Why does it take failure before some ever give it a try?

Why can’t we have childlike wonder and rejoice in the firefly?

Why can’t we live in the simplicity of the moment?

Why can’t we gaze upon the stars as diamonds and rest among the moon beams?

Why can’t we rest in the meadow and watch the puffy clouds roll by?

Why can’t we truly enjoy life the way God intended with childlike faith and wonder?

Why wait until tomorrow to rejoice in the day for tomorrow might be too late?

~ Yolanda Ballard

Yolanda Ballard of At The Father’s Feet website, shares with you, the body of Christ, the words she’s received quietly sitting at The Father’s feet. I believe Jesus set the example for us to follow. Whenever He could He would come apart from the busyness of the world so that He could quiet Himself before The Father, for that is where He received direction and strength to carry out His will.
