Fickle Faith

When life is good and blue skies reign, Our healthy bodies free from pain, How readily we can forget The God through whom our needs are met. But when the dark clouds loom on high And fearful storms are drawing nigh, How swiftly we call out His name To plead for comfort or to blame. 08/11/18 '8x8 Poetry Contest' - Sponsor: P S Awtry April 2019 Premier 11,Any Form ,Any Theme ,Upto A Max Of 8(E I G H T ) Lines Poetry Contest : sponsored by Brian Strand

Yes, indeed. We're all guilty of taking so much for granted.

This is so true, Wendy! One of the nuns in Catholic school told us God receives many prayers of petition - asking for things -- but few prayers of thanks. As Thanksgiving approaches, it seems important to remember this. Very nicely written. Hugs, Carolyn
