On your Knees
Fall is upon us, don’t you see, feel it’s warm and cool crisp wind blowing in the trees alive with color, stores are alive with sights and sounds of pre holiday sakes galore…
I see something else, unsheltered families, people, sleeping in boxes, park benches, with nothing but clothes upon their back, Jesus where art thou..it’s mid October, only two months away, yet no cheer do I feel.
Hate all around, nobody wishes to reason with one another, nobody sits down to talk with one another…business before humility.
My heart hurts everywhere I look, Lord give me your eyes so i can see your children who are hurting, give me your arms so I can reach out to them, a child without a toy, a simple stuffed animal sure to bring a smile, a warm cup of coffee, to warm up their insides.
Lord, I ask of nothing for my family, please surround these lost souls, welcome them to your table of plenty, may they be full with your word, help US to open up OUR hearts, for its hard to stumble when your on your knees..
