Are You Dependable

Confused I am dear friend For to the dreamland I went And I saw as I went A father I saw summon his three children. Grumbling came in the three children "I have an assignment for you" so He said Whispering, the assignment He gave and left. O dear friend!shocked was I His first child was independable "I'm too old to be ordered around" so he said Neglecting the assignment, he left. O dear friend!baffled was I when I saw His second child giving excuses "parties I've got to attend" so she said Neglecting the assignment, she left. O dear friend, surprised was I when the third child gave an excuse "Father will understand, I'm too young" So she said Neglecting the assignment, she left. Confused, I asked why? Why the father couldn't get a child Not even one to do his will So tell me, dear friend Haven't we neglected God"s call?

You are very correct...i'm too old....i'm too young....Father will understand.... Meanwhile, i hardly remember He hasn't call the qualified rather He qualifies the called. I just have to say...Father help, help my unblief.

† When I Dream Which I Do Ofttimes, I Find Myself Returning To My Youth. I'm Setting At The Altar With My Tiny Hands Crossed In Prayer. The World Seems So Much Smaller While Jesus As Our Father Smile, Into My Little Heart. All Is Well While I Walk Through Fields Uncold: Here Am I * Fast Forward Past This Kiln It's Flames; Carved A Child In Old Age On, Bended Knees ˜ Beautiful Painting Wonderful Message. Happy Holidays ˜ Love John
