TIME FOR GOD?

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.....
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But then came my time to die
I went and came before the Lord,
I stood with downcast eyes
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life
He looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"

Now do you have the time
to pass it on?
 

GIVE THANKS

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak

Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion

Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren

Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet

And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that none of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around

Life is a gift... Live it... Enjoy it... Celebrate it... Fulfil it.
