Seven gifts a week, Twenty-four gifts a day, What shall I do with all these things The Good Lord has brought my way? Seven Days a week, as in Creation Twenty-four hours each day, I've been giv'n, Thus are there ample Opportunities-- Can't say,"Don't have time!" for livin'. The question is how will I use it-- Those 168 hours each week? Will I squander it to uselessness Or Redeem it, as God's will I seek? Oh there are so many choices But many roads lead to dead ends, Lord, give the wisdom to rightly choose My time usage and my friends. For friends are both Gifts and Gift-Helpers To help enrich life and Uplift, Ennobling us to better lives In making good use of God's gifts. Twenty-four gifts a day And seven gifts a week, Bless us Lord, in Time's management As Your Perfect Gifts we seek. "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY DAVID! Ellie is right you know, you give us such a gift with your poetry. Certainly is a poem to make you stop and think what you do with your time...I am feeling guilty here...hehee Not enough time spent in God's word. Thank you David, have a great day! <*\\\>< There's only two ways you can go... One way you can save your riches, And the other will save your soul. Rich Mullins |

David this IS SO GREAT!!!!!! another fresh and creative way to look at things...your wisdom never ceases to both impress and enlighten me..24-7...(smile) wonderful work. take care, janet marie In the time we've known That we each are a part of one another We've lost as much as we have won... And as our lives have grown We have found that it only brings us pain To hang on to the things that we have done... ***Still I love the times you've come*** Jackson Browne |
