What If (God Took a Vacation)

Life becomes so busy that sometimes we loose sight
of, He who protects us through the darkness of night.

He is our shelter, our becon in the storm,
the rays of sunshine that keep our body warm.

How many times, do you forget to pray
What if God, decided to leave for a day.

Would we have protection from darkness of night,
with no guidance, would we do whats right.

If you got in trouble, who would you call on quick
Who would give you comfort, if you got sick.

If you need a friend, He wouldn't be at your side
Without his shield, where would you hide.

The next time you decide that God is the blame,
bow your head and have the decency, to feel shame.

He has never deserted His throne up above
Every day He showers us with endless love.

It wouldn't hurt a bit, to praise the one,
who made the ultimate sacrifice, of his only son.

I truly enjoyed this! So many of us take God's tender love and mercy for granted. God works miracles each and every day, but many are too blind to see them. Thanks for sharing. God bless you and keep writing!

What a compelling thought, Karla. If God were to "take a vacation," we surely would be without the spiritual guidance that helps us make it through each day. Instead of offering prayers filled with "requests" to our Lord, we should spend more time offering thanks for the blessings already bestowed, especially the sacrifice of His only son. Awesome, thought- provoking write, Karla. Lot of food for thought! Love, Carolyn
