Me:  Thank you for the this day Lord!

Prodigal:  I agree, thank you for being you!

 

Taint no use to grumble

‘N’ frown and keep a frettin’

If you can’t get the things you want;

Then, want the things you’re gettin’!

The path you tread is much the same

As others is pursuin’.

If you can’t do the things you like

Then, like the things you’re doin!.

The world may have its sour folks,

But this will bear repeatin’:

It won’t take long for you to get

As sour as those you’re meetin’,

There may be good folks far away

You’d mightly like to tie to,

But if you ain’t nigh folks you love

Then, love the folks ‘ats nigh you.

Of course there’s a lots of folks

That won’t bear close inspection,

But it you stop and think a bit

YOU ain’t  quite reached perfection!

If things don’t move just like they might

Keep pushin’ and shovin’

And don’t let nothin’ interfere

With likin’ and uh lovin’!

 

Margaret E. Sangster

 

James 1:12

Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
