I Think So
I grew up on a farm and we never had an alarm clock
we had an old rooster and every morning he would wake my dad
three hundred sixty five days a year
He never said I think I will sleep in today and not do my job
I don't think so
He was just doing the job that God gave him to do and never complained
And the little hen does she know that when she lays her eggs
and hatches her chicks that she is feeding our family
I don't think so
she is just doing the job that God gave her to do and doing it well
she sings all day and never complains
When the little birds pick up grass and string to build a nest in the corner of the
house do they know they clog up the drain so the water won't run off
I don't think so
They are just doing the job that God gave them to do to feed their family
and when they began to sing in the morning no choir on earth is more beautiful
and they never complain
I wonder why God didn't give us a bird brain then we could get up in the morning
and instead of complaining we could go to work and lift up our voice to our
heavenly Father and thank him for giving us our job
Are we not greater than the rooster the hen and the birds
I think so
