CHOICES


Choose joy
and trust and gratitude
Choose faith
and hope; good attitude.
Choose grace
and gentleness today.
Choose light
to drive the gloom away.
Choose laughter
over sour face.
Choose love
that will all fears erase.
Choose now
relationships to mend.
Choose to forgive
and be a friend.
So keep on choosing
truth and right;
Choose justice
over power and might.
Choose lack of guile,
integrity.
Choose life in Christ
eternally.
So many choices
at your door!
Things can be
better than before!
Just you can choose
how you will be.
Let’s all choose
peace and unity.

Yes the accountability boils down to choices. We must face up to that.
