So many churches have libraries or book cases with old books that nobody reads.



In many old churches they stand
bookcases which were once so grand.
Placed in a corner with much pride
for folks to read the books inside.
They stand there untouched yet today
where all the books are there to stay.
They sit there just collecting dust
with topics which were once a must.
But now they are so out of date
sitting in their lonely state.
It would be such a lovely grace
if brand new books were in their place
and people took the time to read
to grow from each spiritual seed.

Yes very sad Larry, when people stop reading, almost like peole being pushed aside once we get old and no more exciting.

Thank you for sharing.

Sadly, reading, both secular and spiritual, is becoming a lost art. I need both types to remain balanced - or at least my semblance of balance.

God bless you. Kathy

Many grand old libraries have the very same problem; and many grand old books there collect only modern day dust.

Reading is fast becoming a lost art, my friend. Where once young people delved into books to lose themselves to other worlds and cultures, today . . . today . . . ah heck, today the have their friggin' iPods . . . God help us, but I think He is laughing at us . . .
