Don't Buy A Dress


When you have stress,
Don't buy a dress...
Sell out to Him.

When in despair,
Why change your hair?
Remain in Christ.

When you can't sleep,
Please, don't count sheep...
Count on Jesus.

When your heart breaks,
Forget mistakes...
Remember God.

Nice little reminders of where we need to turn in all circumstances, rather than seeking worldly outlets.  Thanks,

This is a very good reminder of who to turn to when we really need to instead of other petty things.  Thanks for sharing!  This is a great piece.

Dear Bob,

These are simple words but so full of wisdom-put down in the common venacular and experience of life.  As put, surely many can relate and be blessed by the wise counsel.
               David

No Better Place do I know
Than where Hearts knit as
one,
For in that grand
experience,
The Better ALL become.

God Bless us All!!!

Bob; Aptly said, though tongue in cheek, nothing will satisfy but the Love of our God!  Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
