Things - A Poem



Things

I pass life’s display cases
Filled with things calling out to me
And though I try to ignore them
You know, they refuse to let me be!


I wonder who’s in control here
The things — or is it really me?
I know that I’m on a mission,
But, Lord, they keep yelling at me!


I don’t measure my life by the things I own
Nor by how many things I can get
Things are here for my pleasure and comfort,
But they don’t control me yet!


So when I hear the many things,
Calling out to me,
I put it all in perspective,

And continue on to the Tree! **BJC**

Yesterday



Greetings, Dear Ones!

     I pray that all is well with you and your loved ones!

     How often have you found yourself wishing - like in your childhood games - for a "do-over?" Often? Seldom? Never?

     Have you wished you could, and have then been glad you can't?  

     Well, today's poem, short and to the point, treats exactly to that issue! And while we are at it, let us not forget that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever! (Hebrews 13:8).

     Enjoy!



Yesterday


When I think of yesterday
There’s not much I can do,
But learn from any mistakes I’ve made
And see what better I can do!


And if yesterday has no regrets
Of things that can’t be undone
I gaze upon my triumphs
And tell myself: “Yes! Well done!”


Yes, I know thoughts of yesterday
All in all can go two ways
But thankfully in the Master’s Plan
I’ve a chance for a brand new day!


And since I can’t erase the past,
I will not dwell on it, 
My yesterdays, though a part of me
Now dwell in eternity!



YESTERDAY is HISTORY!

TODAY is a GIFT!

TOMORROW is a MYSTERY!
