Coming to the end of the kid's I work with and their time in school, I get to thinking about whether I have done all I can to help them succeed and meet their potential. Sometimes you just get tired and wonder whether what you have done is worthwhile. At the end of a day full of times when you feel that you may as well have tried to nail jelly to a wall, you just need to trust that all the effort and advice and work you have put in and timethat you have invested will pay dividends. It's often easier to throw ourself into our jobs and vocations and strive to be the best we can be in our given profession than to throw ourself into our faith. Jim Cowan wrote this song about faith, can we live life to meet its challenge?
When it's all been said and done
There is just one thing that matters
Did I do my best to live for truth?
Did I live my life for you?
When it's all been said and done
All my treasures will mean nothing
Only what I have done
For love's rewards
Will stand the test of time
Lord, your mercy is so great
That you look beyond our weakness
That you found purest gold in miry clay
Turning sinners into saints
I will always sing your praise
Here on earth and in heaven after
For you've joined me at my true home
When it's all been said and done
You're my life when life is gone...
