Leslie it was your write "Mortal Sin" that inspired me to write this one so I hope don't mind me using your photo of Moses. I have always believed that if we could live our lives by the Ten Commandments then we would live a good life.

Follow, Honour, Love & Obey
October 26, 2008
Written By: Rose Marie Rideout

We were taught since we were old enough
to fully understand about God above,
That we must live by the commandments,
If we truly want to love.
If one day when our life here is through,
And we chose to return home,
Then we must learn to follow instructions,
Which are on these slabs of stone.
                                       RMR

The Ten Commands, listed as given by Moses.

Ten Commandments of God, listed in order
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honour thy father and thy mother.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
10. Thou shalt not covet.

He asked that we love and Honour,
Him and the Sabbath day.
That we only use His name,
When it’s used in Respect or to Pray.
He asked that we love and obey,
 Him and our loving family,

The one He gave us so willingly.
He asked that we not lie or steal,
Don’t kill or destroy,
For when we disappoint Him,
It causes Him to Cry.
So He sent His loving Messenger,
To share those commandments alone,
There were Ten for us to follow,
Written on those slabs of stone.

A very well done work. I have always believed that if you loved God above all things and treated everyone as you would like to be treated that you are following Jesus teachings. Great work.

I agree wholeheartedly, Rose! Most have abandoned the ten commandments and only seem to honor materialism, lust and selfish greed! And I believe we will reap what we sew. No wonder the world is in such a bad state. Thanks for this wonderful poem.

I think this is a great write sis, and I do believe that what is wrong with this world today, the generations as they pass by seem to forget more and more what the TEN COMMANDMENTS was written for, they were written to help guide our lives to make the world a better place. To understand the true meaning FAMILY,LOVE,RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER. It's not too late yet, but will this or the next generation start the ball rolling again. Let's pray they do.

Love you sis, xoxoxox
God Bless

The Commandments should be followed even today; they are more than words in the Holy Book; they are God's Rules!! Case closed!

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

God commands us to follow the Rules; if we don't, uh-oh!! We're doomed! :)

Long time no see anyone of those respected, no wonder that from time to time He sends a rock to teach the disnosaurs to behave and the flood to humans to wash their dirty souls.

Interesting Rose, but I find all too many who claim to follow these well defined and logical rules are also the ones who are hypocrites that only follow them when it is to their benefit...and I don't mean you in that statement. I know your heart is in the right spot.
