The Difference

Redbird's Roost

I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day:
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn’t have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
“Why doesn’t God help me?” I wondered,
He answered, “You didn’t ask.”

I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn’t show me,
He said, “But you didn’t seek.”

I tried to come into God’s presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
“My child you didn’t knock.”

I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.

Be A Friend

“A friend loves at all times.” Proverbs 17:17a (NKJV)

Nothing on earth can make
life more worthwhile
Than a true, loyal friend
and the warmth of a smile,
For, just like a sunbeam
makes the cloudy days brighter,
The smile of a friend
makes a heavy heart lighter.
