Eating Out

My momma and my papa we eat out once a month; not too near and not too far a nice and quiet lunch. We went this time for chicken they make it oh! so well; it's all the same, no difference i taste it, oh! so swell! As i was having dinner a lady thus appeared; confirmed she was a sinner abused me, that i feared! It lasted for a long time i prayed and prayed and prayed; a way out i couldn't find His mercy thus delayed. It ended as it started persecution ended; the Lord thus He remembered my plight the Christ upended. She went quiet for a while forgave her in my heart; all the evil and its viles rejected thus depart. Thus a moment's repentance lost and found and saved; the Lord required penance a prayer full of grace. I told her to pray to God in all your honesty; say sorry to the Lord find love to set you free. Thus we know that God does care the evil He unbinds; to the righteous He is fair when i eat and drink and dine! This lesson, harsh be told you are never just alone; seek His prayers manifold He is Faithful! let's atone! Help is just a prayer away deny that not my friend; when thy friends to thee betray Christ knows thee, He's a Man! His miracles thus daily just seek, and pray and hope; for Christ is Lord, yes! really! to His Glory we devote! Amen!

all in a day's work! one of the Beatitudes mentions: "Blessed are you when they abuse and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice! and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven, for so they persecuted the Prophets who were before you." Amen!
