Witticisms

If a man tell an untruth today in jest,
And straightens it up on the morrow,
Does it yet remain a lie?
The witness that I show to another,
Either empowers positive change or reinforces a negative attitude.
I don’t have all the answers I need in life,
Just the man who does!
If the road you travel had no chug holes,
How often would you give God a thought?
All feel,
That having love for their fellow man is a good thing,
Some feel especially if that man can be of help.
I never fully learned the value of money
Until I discovered my life could be rich with or without it.
Wealth controls me, or I control it.
The greatest thing man can ever accomplish,
Is to plant the seed that leads another to know the Lord;
It is hard to comprehend that when we get forgiveness
God remembers our past transgressions no more.
They’re removed as far as the east is from the west.
God forgives and forgets, while carnal man forgives but remembers.
