Second chance

The human race, the Lord had made,                      .           Their hearts from Him, had turned,                                        .  He looked down on their sinful deeds,                                 .  How His frustration burned. All He'd created, perfectly, To vile wickedness, moved, What HE called GOOD, mankind had turned To evil, - NOT approved. He must have thought "I'll start again" "Destroy all I have made" Though there was ONE, who found HIS grace.      His clan, would wrath, evade. The house of Noah, spared this wrath, With them, He'd start anew, They'd be preserved, from all the deeds On earth, was going to do. The people, vile, when noticing The structure Noah did build, Thought hi...

Forgiving. - Matt 18, 21 - 35

.   33  And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’       We're told to be like Father God, Forgive, as been forgiven, Though that , is TOUGH, without the help That comes, solely from Heaven.     Since WE're forgiven through HIS blood, We too, should forgive those Who constantly annoy or irk, Be they some friends or foes.     We're ALSO told within His Word, The consequences, should We fail to follow through with it, And hardened heart, exude.      Don't have to do it all alone, With others, we can pray, Third person of the Trinity Will help us, on our way.

The Prodigal; Luke 15:11-32

.     The Prodigal, aft many years Of living "LIFE" - he thought, Lavishly a-spending Th'inheritance he had got, .    (Before it should have been dished out, I haste to add on here,) Did come to re'lise, "goin' it 'lone" Was NOT  fun, 'twas more FEAR. .   He'd gone where no one knew him, His ancestry, or  past, He must've thought "At last I'm FREE , In life, I'll have a blast." .   The old sayings "wine women, song", "You can't fool th'people all day long"  "A fool and his money", it also goes, "Are rapidly parted" everyone knows.      And so 'twas true of this young man, With lavish lifestyle he had led. 'Big Spender', spent it all too soon Was quickly, needing to be fed. .    A job he HAD to, fast attain' To just survive each day, again. A-feeding SWINE, was some relief, Though was the worst,  with his belief, .   While doing so, gave time to think Ponder ...

"It's ALL I have" (Mark 6. 30-34)

      I wonder of that little lad, The one who gave his all Whene'er the Master did require Some food, to feed the sprawl Of hungry mouths and listening ears, Who'd followed Christ, to hear The wonderous words and truths He told For only three short year.    Whene'er he said "It's all I have" Did he e'er think that, years  And centuries long afterwards, His deeds, would ease some fears Of folk who thought "not good enough" "I haven't anything That anyone deems worthy 'nough, Which I, to HIM, can bring".      Did he keep on a-following The Saviour, whom he saw Feed o'er five thousand ravenous mouths, With so little food, to chaw? Did he become disciple keen, When older he became? Or did he turn his back on Him, E'en after all he'd seen?   I guess we'll never know for sure, Until we are called 'Home' To that eternal Glory land And we have time to comb Believers, who have gathered there, For many centuries ...

Student "door to door's"

Was being plagued by salesmen Who travelled door to door, They're really quite annoying, And I could take no more.     Me thinks they all were students, To make 'a buck or two', But REALLY, did they HAVE to   Keep pestering me and you?   The final straw was broken, Was going to take no more, I taught the guys a lesson, That they would call no more.                                      Was selling 'Water Heaters  For us to 'rent' instead ,                                                                     The one we had was paid for,                                                 ...
