Getting By With the Simple Things In Life
The Simple Things In Life…
I met this person… And could hardly
believe my ears…
He hasn’t watched public
television in over 40 years!
How could someone not
watch this for so long?
Is everything o.k with him? Is anything “wrong?”
Allow me to put any uncertainties
or questions to rest.
He is doing quite well…,
And feels rather blessed!
He hasn’t looked to television to entertain.
But is very happy..
No reason to complain…
I know that he loves Jesus
with a passion and zeal…
God is in his heart. He knows his God is REAL!
He has a dedication for Christ
and the Holy Ghost.
He seeks in life what really matters the most…
He has a wife and several children as well…
They’re seeking God’s love. You can TELL!
It’s the “simple things in life”
they’ve learned to enjoy…
A contentment in life is what
they wish to employ…
What takes our time from Jesus
we may one day regret.
That which Christ has done for us…
May we not forget!
May we all be encouraged to live for God.
Whatever the cost…
And perhaps get our focus back
on the “old rugged cross…”
