Know What’s Important!

How many of us have been hurt through someone's words or gossip. Sticks and Stones should be remembered but sometimes its hard.

 

Know What’s Important!
 
If only we realized how little people talk about us,
We wouldn’t become paranoid and make such a fuss.
We aren’t that important to our world outside.
 I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings or damage your pride.
 
All I meant was, it doesn’t matter what people say.
There are more important things to be done each day.
You could do something for others, show kindness and love.
You could turn over your problems to the good Lord above.
 
You may not like what people say or like their tone,
But the saying is true ,
When they’re talking about you, they’re leaving me alone.
It’s an anecdote but it truly makes sense,
Don’t let it bother you or make you tense.
 
Just keep on doing what you know is right,
And keep God close and right in your site.
HE’s all that’s important and it’s what HE thinks matters,
So block out all the gossip and those foolish chatters.
 
Reach out to the sick, the lonely and weak,
These are God’s children that you need to seek.
Show them God’s love that he shows to you,
And know what’s important, know what is true .
 
There’s no better feelin’ than to bring someone bliss,
You could do it with a smile, a hug, word or kiss.
So don’t worry about what others say about you.
God knows your heart and knows that is true .
 
Written by,
Bonnie May

A wise message dealing with a matter that most everyone has been a victim of at one time or another, and if not...no doubt they will. My mom always told me to pray for those whom you fall prey to and you will be the wiser and stronger and will be the overcomer in the end. I've found this advice to be true on more than one occasion. It is hard to hold our tongue when things like this happen, after all we're only human...well done my friend!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

Yes, a strong message to a weak populace, or so it seems for the most part...ed

I always say if they talke about me they let others alone. too. It doesn't bother me no more in my old age to have gossip about me. I deserve it if they want to tell it.

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 .
