Your life speaks. What is it saying?

The quality of our work, the unselfish motives behind it, and the dignity with which we do it, send a bigger message than our title or job description ever will. Here's a song that expressed this idea for me:


Let the work that I've done speak for me

(African- American Spiritual)

Sung by Joe Carter

Let the work that I’ve done speak for me

Let the work that I’ve done speak for me

When I come to the end of this road

And I lay down this old heavy load

Let the work that I’ve done speak for me

Let the life that I’ve lived speak for me

Let the life that I’ve lived speak for me

When I come to the end of this road

And I lay down this old heavy load

Let the life that I’ve lived speak for me

Let the prayers that I’ve prayed speak for me

Let the prayers that I’ve prayed speak for me

When I’ve done the very best that I can

And if my friends don’t understand

Let the prayers that I’ve prayed speak for me

Let the love that I’ve shared speak for me

Let the love that I’ve shared Lord speak for me

When I come to the end of this road

And I lay down this old heavy load

Let the life that I’ve lived speak for me

Let the prayers that I’ve prayed speak for me

Let the love that I’ve shared speak for me

Mary Baker Eddy puts this thought this way:

"The objects we pursue and the spirit we manifest
reveal our standpoint, and show what we are winning."
