Yo Bro,

Now that has meaning. Love it.

We don't need to go to Church to Worship Idols and pour money into them...Just think about the Car we drive, or the house we think we own...is it our humble dwelling, or the B all and End all...
Many things can be Idols, hobbies for example, collecting stuff.
I think if human beings spent less time at the Stuff Mart, and more time at their churches during the week and on the Holy day of Worship handing out bread to ppl who come in off the street hungry, we'd be at least starting to walk in the right direction.
The Church I attend, has a freeze, and a fully stocked welfare dept, and quite often I have raided that freezer or cupboards for peeps who got nuffin.. But that dont make me righteous, no siree, for you can feed the hungry, clothe the poor, relocate the homeless, and still profane, gossip, and so forth.
It is as well we arent judges over each other, and that God is our Judge, coz we are best off leaving that position entirely to HIM, and sorting our selves out, in other words, getting serious with and for GOD.
Ty for your take on this Fee.
Hugs to yah
God Bless

What an absolutley powerful write. It certainly made me sit back and think about my ways. I hope that all that reads this - takes a look and account of their own lives. We need not judge, who gives us the right to be the final say; we need not be predijuce, who's to say that our race/religion is the one at the top, we need not be condesending, two-faced, mean - who gave us this right to make someone else feel so insignificant. If all of us out there - did practice what we preached, wouldn't this world be a better place. I know folks that have the nack of talking out of both sides of their face - down so well, they dont even realize anymore that they are doing this. How sad. Well, now that you got me on a soapbox...hehe. Thanks, Fee for the very thought provoking write. Well done, my friend.

A poem filled with wisdom, Fee. Very haunting feel to this lesson. The picture is thought provoking; it made my eyes bug.

So true Fee, so wise.

A fine message, Fee. Thank you for sharing your perspective. Love and best wishes to you,

Regis

Good hymm, Fee.

Peace,

religious elitism as well as a sense of moral superiority has many "religious" peoples' priorities all screwed up ... poignant reminder, Felix ...

There are those who preach and believe what they preach and then. those who preach and live with the riches from what they preach although the lesson isn't taken to heart. Then there are those, as you, who are so very spiritual with their words and beliefs that they are more wise than the others and they see both sides of the coin. The lesson here is straight from God's word.
Thank you Fee. My blessings and love,
Susan

I don't think we have to throw rocks at anyone for in the end God knows what we have done and we will be judged accordingly.

Well done, Very good piece. Lady J

This is so meaningful, and so true. There are many profound lessons we can learn from the wisdom of a child. A moving piece, Fee. Thank you for sharing it.

Be well,
Sheri

i could go on and on about the myriad touchings of this; suffice to say this is my soft spot. . .homeless [but for the grace of God], spirituality. .. so i cant really comment properly. just that deep of an impact. ..reminds me of my friend Edward [a homeless man of 13 yrs]
beautiful.
amen.

TRASK

Jesus wept... and weeps today... For the Church that professes His Name, mainly, I feel. And I am a part of that, I know. Christians are judged by their actions and God with them. For this I am mainly very, very sorry. We are going to have a lot to answer for, I believe. We largely do the Truths about God and Jesus a great disservice, putting false religion above a relationship-based faith which is core to the ways in which we think and behave. If we TRULY loved this precious person above, we would not do half the the things we do and would do more like the little boy in your poem. As Ed so simply points out, just how different would the world be then? GREAT poem, Pops. Keep 'em coming. K xx

When we practise what we preach like this boy


If all the so called 'Christians' today followed that young boy's example, what a marvelous world this could be.

Heart warming write, Fee. I truly treasure this!
Love,
Becca~

through a childs eyes there is much wisdom, Fee this is moving and gives one much to ponder. excellent write.
Love, Christine

I am a Christian, go to an Assembly of God church; but I am not one of those zealous "Holy Rollers". I do get so much out of church; yet I also realize that I am only human; I sin, I make mistakes. I am NOT perfect, nor do I claim to be. Too many Christians nowadays think that once they become "saved", they are without sin. Nope! They are NOT perfect; the only one who IS perfect is the One who died on the cross for mankind's sin: Jesus. Yet some Christians do adopt a "holier-than-thou" attitude, act all holy on Sunday, yet during the rest of the week, they act like hypocrites: gossiping behind other people's backs, doing wrong things that are not Christ-like. Or these televangelists promising victory over sickness and finacial woes when THEY are the ones who are truly benefitting. All too many times I see these preachers sitting on thrones of gold or pastoring churches that look more like palaces. To me, they are taking advantage of the poor or relying too much on emotionalism. I do get emotional at my church, but I am NOT extreme about it. I am only human, I know I do wrong things. God knows too, and it is up to me to repent, ask for His forgivness. Great thought provoking write; glad that you believe that Christ was born; that makes me happy! :)

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

And may God bless YOU, Fee! :)

Felix as you know I am one who do go to church and I believe we all have our reasons, your words tell us that if our hearts aren't in the right place than we have no right to be in God's home. We should love and care for one another and let the material things sit on the back burner as we help out our brothers and sisters who are going hungry, cold and suffering through illness. Too many people are there to see who else went and what they are wearing etc. I have overheard it a thousand times. Thank you for sharing your words of truth.

Love ya face Cuz XOXO, Rose

Deeply moving, thought provoking piece, Fee. If all of us would practice what we preach, what we believe, the world would be a much better place, and not one of the haves against the have nots. What gets me madder than anything is those at the pulpit tell us that God will bless us if we bless the church--the old "name it and claim it"--the only one who benefits is the preacher! Especially televangelists. If it were so, would there be hunger? Wars? Homelessness? Things we truly want???? Makes one wonder. Excellent, Fee.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

wonderful and wise write--a beautiful spirit revealed

An extraordinary piece of philosophy that are seldom practiced today, but like Moses found, coming down from the mountain after that burning bush meeting, man needs to give a statue more attention than a hungry man.
The child's generosity could had been God's metaphore to us.
