Come on, Be Thankful
by Connie Faust

Friday, November 20, 2009
Rated "G" by the Author.

If the shoe fits, wear it. If it doesn't quite fit, but you might squeeze into it with little effort, you might think about walking on a different path.
If I sound a little loopy, well, it's the middle of the night and I should be sleeping. = [

Look around you carefully;
There's something  odd that you will see:
Many folks complain and whine--
You'd think them poor, without a dime--

Until they haul the wallets out,
Stuffed to the gills, without a doubt.

Their multi cars take other's space;
They think the world owes them a place.

Though overflowing with money and "things,"
Ole Misery, a thankless soul brings.
All is handed on a golden platter;
The rest of the world doesn't matter!

Methinks they need to learn the way
To think of others along the way;
Instead of complaining, to smile and sing
And thank their Creator for everything.

Words from God's Book to think about:
In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Your words sing out...even in the dead of night. Greed has fueled governements of religious and regal for too many centuries. Greed plays no favorites either, until it comes to death.
