THE VALLEY OF DECISION

Alice Troxell McCoun

Think not of small import today's decision.
Could we but see beyond our present vision
The boundless good that God provides for man
When thought fits perfectly His larger plan,
We would be glad to pause and pray until
Reflected Love reveals the Father's will.

Within the valley stillness truths inspire
To purify each motive, each desire.
And Love, while healing one, can do no less
Than give to all a wealth of happiness.

Think not of small import today's decision.
Far-reaching under Spirit's supervision
Are Godlike thoughts. And much as buds infold
Their bloom, decisions based on Spirit hold
Innate fulfillment. We choose what God bestows,
And lo! the valley blossoms as the rose.
