Jim Pemberton Poet Rhyme

I Think of a Time When Our Family Prayed

I Think About A Time…  When Our Family Prayed!

I think about a time…  
When our family prayed!
No one seemed to care… 
 How long we stayed!

I think of a time…  When God’s message 
of salvation was accepted.
But the older we got.  
This message was neglected!

I think of a time…  When all we had,
 was a black and white t.v.
But we had God’s love in our house.  
That was enough for me!

I think of a time…  When we struggled 
with many things.
But we were content with 
the love that our God brings!

I think of today…  And the direction 
that many families are going.
Many heartaches and brokenness 
appear to be showing!

May I suggest that we all seek
 a Godly way of living?
And accept the kind of life
 that our Lord is giving?

I think about where we are now.  
And the journey ahead.
 Jesus is our living 
water and daily bread!

I hope and desire that 
this message isn’t lost!
We need to lay our every need
 at the foot of the cross!
