Tissues found where shadows begin
Orts of sorts and a bobby pin
Gem clip slipped under hutch nearby
Dust accumulating by and by
Under the couch, as far as I know
A lost sock — hey, that’s where they go!
Leaves leaving trees that somehow sneaked in
Relics of bygone years that cause us to grin
Watching the World Cup with guests on the floor
I’m so glad I vacuumed — I’ll say it once more!
ll Corinthians 5:
21. For He hath made Him to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be
made the righteousness of God in Him.
1 John 1: 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not
in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
I let a thought enter my mind today
It was not a nice one, I must say
I took a gem clip and a pen
Why didn't I leave them in.
I put a bag of potatoes on the bottom
Part of the grocery cart
Honestly, I forgot, brain didn't start
Or was it that or deep in my heart?
Little things pile up high
We forget to ask forgiveness
I must say
All those things build a dam
Keeping us and our Savior apart
Forgive me Father for what I've done
Let this day be for me a new life under the sun
A poem may be coming or not. finis'
I have not necessarily done all these things, but then again, I may have done at least one or some of them or maybe over my whole life all of them. Prayer in the right frame of mind will put us in a right relationship again. SK
