Good Medicine or Dry Bones?

I always feel sorry for the sick person who is given a tv at the foot of his bed to "keep him company." Maybe you'd like to be comforted by the woes of the world, but it sure wouldn't be a comfort for me! If you are with me then, keep this in mind, please!

 If ever I am bedfast,
and you want to comfort me,

Please do not consign me to the fate of
watching TV.

Unless you are conspiring how to
hasten my demise,

Don’t force-feed me a flatscreen
in front of my ailing eyes.

Just plug me into music
like Gaithers’ gospel songs of old,

Or David Jeremiah,
as he preaches words of gold.

My soul will be contented,
and the tension melt away,

And I will feel God’s presence and know
 He’s with me all the way,
so

If ever I am bedfast,
and you want to comfort me,

Just turn off the commotion
and shine some "light" on me.

 


"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
but a broken spirit drieth the bones."
Proverbs 17:22
Fruit of The Earth

So very true! As a counselor, I have worked as a chaplain. Never once, has someone asked me to turn the TV on. The hunger for the Word is always there at the end. Rarely does anyone bother to bring the Light in!

Amen Connie. The only thing we watch on TV are educational how to shows. My wife refuses to watch the news, she says there are enough things to worry about today without having to worry about tomorrow. I agree with you, give me music. May God bless you every day of your life.

Much rather listen to choice music and have access to television once in a while. Music soothes the heart and soul and opens the door for the mind to travel.

Be always safe,

Great write. I love to watch TV but only when there is a good movie on and one with music as I am an avid fan of all kinds of music if it's worth while and pleasing to my ears.

Dear Connie, I agree with your supplication totally: "Supplication, therefore, is the attitude or spirit of prayer. We bend down to God and cry out to Him for an answer. We submit to His will and to His authority. We earnestly seek His help. In this way, we make supplication to God in our prayers. May follow our example, the Lord Jesus, who 'offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears'" (Hebrews 5:7) I, too, do not relish being relocated to the nebulous world of TV. A most appropriate request...Good luck..Just Jim.
