"In God We Trust"

Shirley A Mandel
I once heard and elderly man say,
"Youth is wasted on the young;
you just don't know what it is all about
until your old and ready to die."

What IS life all about?

It's not about money
or prestige
or fame
or stuff.

It's about Him,
and letting Him help others
through you.

True path to happiness.

Oh Lord,
let me rely more on what
You can do through me,
and less on what I can do
alone.

"In God we trust."
