Do you have the time ?

Publié par jeannettebourassa

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 peace. All day long I had no time to spread a word of cheer. No time to speak of the 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 at last the time , the time to die. I went before the Lord , I came, I stood with downcast eyes. For in his hand God held a book ; it was the book of life . God looked into his book and said :  »  your name I cannot find. I once was going to write it down… but never found the time . «

Just to be …

Publié par jeannettebourassa 
Just to be tender, just to be true,

Just to be glad the whole day through,

Just to be merciful, just to be mild,

Just to be trustful as a child,

Just to be gentle and kind and sweet,

Just to be helpful with willing feet,

Just to be cheery when things go wrong,

Just to drive sadness away with song,

Whether the hour is dark or bright,

Just to be loyal to God and right,

Just to believe that God knows best,

Just in His promise ever rest,

Just to let love be our daily key,

That is God's will for you and me.


From an unknowm poet.
