Me: How is the gardening going?

Prodigal: I just singing a long and the day flies by.

Me: Maybe this will help

This is from Sunrays of Help by Dr. Albert Garner

We sing “Sweet Hour of Prayer” and are content with 5-10 minutes daily.

We sing “Onward Christian Soldiers” and wait to be drafted into His service.

We sing “O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing” and don’t use the one we have.

We sing “There Shall be Showers of Blessings” but do not come out when it rains.

We sing “Blest be the Tie That Binds” and let the least little offense sever it.

We sing “Serve the Lord with Gladness” and gripe about all we have to do.

We sing “I Love to Tell the Story” and never mention it at all.

We sing “We’re Marching to Zion” but fail to march to Worship or Sunday School.

We sing “Cast All Your Cares on the Lord” and worry ourselves into a nervous breakdown.

We sing “The Whole Wide World for Jesus” and never invite our next-door neighbor.

We sing “O Day of Rest and Gladness” and wear ourselves out traveling, cutting grass or playing golf on Sunday.

We sing “Throw Out the Life-Line” and content ourselves with throwing out a fishing line.

Be ye steadfast unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Let us put away our inconsistent living, go all out for the Lord every day

1 Corinthians 15:58
