Could Should Would. I could live for myself, but I should live for the purposes of the One Who would give me life. Could,  should, would. I would live for the Lord because I should. 

I would choose to garden, but I am not the best Gardener of my life. I should till the soil when spring has sprung, but I should also rest when it rests. I could listen better for clues of all this. I would choose to rest.

Lord, give me purpose, give me rest, give me life. I could walk these steps even if I didn’t lay the stones. I should trust the steps because I do trust the Mason, Map Maker, Mover, Motivator.  I would like to know the path, but realize He is in control.

I will take a time to listen in this life to live. It’s living life for things for now and sometimes things never, but it is ALWAYS listening for the benefit of our and others’ FOREVER. 

AMEN 

Amen
