Wise Words To Ponder

just going to church every week ~ does not make you a better Christian be grateful for everything that you have ~ because many have nothing love and respect are not something that you can buy ~you have to earn them our world leaders and politicians ~ do not bear the scars of battle your clock of life is ticking and does not stop ~ do not waste a second surely it is not the end of the world ~ if your team loses a game always accept a gift ~ don't hurt someone's feelings by refusing it the reward for kindness is the joy you bring ~ to someone else's heart it is inevitable that you will grow old but think young ~ stay young the only true winners in wartime ~are the arms manufacturers machines make life easier ~ but cannot function without your input Written 14th March 2021

Wars are why it is so important to keep an open dialog with the rest of the world. Sometimes a difficult situation with differing personalities and cultures. But one God created all, and all are one under our God. We must adhere to live like flowers amongst the weeds of life and learn to bear the good fruit. I love your words. They are important.

Some great thoughts put to pen. I enjoyed reading them. We learn through living and the youth of the world usually don't take the elderly's advice. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Congratulations my friend on a truly well deserved POTD! Such truth in this exceptional piece. War is a curse that mankind too often accepts as the first way to solve a disagreement. War is dark- Peace is Light- God is Light. Mankind too often chooses darkness! A fav.... God bless,,,

There is so much truth within each statement. This thought however, touches my heart so deeply. "Be grateful for everything that you have" Yes, I am thankful. Congratulations Tom, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
