If a Tree Falls

Then shall the King say unto them on his right, “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungered and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye have me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in; naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Mathew 25:34-36


Poem Artwork

You have heard the expression I’m sure for it’s made its round.

If a tree falls in the woods with nobody to hear, does it make a sound?

 

This is not an intellectual discussion for who cares if it does or does not?

However, you see it laying there and you see it dying and watch it rot.

 

The human soul is like that and yes, when it falls we do hear.

We need to be listening to the cries to someone we hold dear.

 

The wails of the soul which is in great distress and spiritual pain

Are horrible sounds crying with a loud painful refrain.

 

They will keep crying and if no one will hear

It is only because they chose to turn a deaf ear.

 

Do not let your heart become callused and unfeeling to the anguish of others.

Be strong and give comfort to fallen sisters and brothers.

 

For you no not what tomorrow will bring to you and to yours.

Life is full of dark hallways and sometimes we all open the wrong doors.

 

Pray to God for strength to help those who are in need.

God will help you as you have helped them in word and in deed.

 

Be ye not forgetful that God sent his only Son

Who stayed the course to the cross so our salvation could be won.

 

Love one another just as our heavenly Father has loved you.

Keep his love in your heart to guide what you say and do.

Lew, This is a powerful reminder that we all need to open our eyes to the world and those around us. Too many times, we learn that a loved one or friend was hurting, only far too late. The Lord always knows.

Thank you,
Jill

Oh...Brother LEW!

You have pen a Masterpiece here!!!

"But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most HOLY FAITH, PRAYING in THE HOLY SPIRIT,
keep yourselves in THE LOVE OF GOD, LOOKING for THE MERCY of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST unto eternal life.
And on SOME have COMPASSION, making a DISTINCTION;
BUT OTHERS SAVE WITH FEAR, PULLING THEM OUT OF THE FIRE, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh. (JUDE verses 20,21,22,23)

God Bless,
God Speed,

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
