To Find His Voice

Each of us has something to share with the world. Some folks may be artists or writers, others are dreamers and visionaries. Some are gifted to serve people or take care of the young or the old. Some folks design or build. Each of us fits into the larger picture of humanity in his or her own special way. We have something to share, something to say, something to create, some legacy to leave. That is our voice, the message we communicate to the world. Many people are still searching for their voices, which is just fine, but we all have something to say, something unique to give. When we each share our talents, our message, our own voice, the world is a better place because of it. Like the many and varied sounds of individual instruments in an orchestra, so are the unique voices of our lives. And when each of us gives of ourselves and plays our best the result is a veritable symphony, a song of worship and thanksgiving to the creator and author of our individual giftedness. May you discover your own voice in the world and share it wholeheartedly.

To Find His Voice
As he journeys through this life
Each man must make a choice
He can follow the words of others
Or he can try to find his own voice
Untold wisdom was whispered before him
So much is discovered and known
The world is filled with well-worn paths
But some men must strike out on their own
To hear what has not been heard before
To see what has not been seen
To reap a harvest all his own
Discontent to merely glean
Some men were born to duplicate
While others are bound by fate
To bring their imaginations to life
And it is their destiny to create
They are the visionaries
Who willingly bare their souls
Through the mediums God gifted them
Their thoughts become tangible
Each man has something to say to the world
And his blessing, his honor, his choice
Will be how to discover, develop and use
The words of his own special voice
