"Many are invited, but few are chosen." Matthew 22:14  Thanks For Inviting Me By: Noah Eaton 10/13/02 Every day I open the mailbox of my soul You raise that red flag every morning And the only thing I need to make my day Is your wholehearted R.S.V.P And in your gentle grace I suit up before you Be a welcome guest in your tabernacle Where your hospitality applies salt to my wounds And I'm just lucky to be at your feast and help out with the disposables Oh Lord, thank you for inviting me Let us all respond to your messages willingly So fill my glass for me Oh Lord, thank you for your hospitality I raise a toast to Thee... You are the light that fills a dining room in Versailles In this Thanksgiving love is the only necessary etiquette I know that many are invited, but few are chosen So I will offer my love to you, thank you for Your patience Oh Lord, thank you for inviting me Let us all respond to your messages willingly So fill my glass for me Oh Lord, thank you for your hospitality I raise a toast to Thee... I look all around me and see everyone gathered around A firmament of wholeheartedness shared between us all A love free of a three figure price-tag May there come a day when everyone invited will choose to fill this hall I hold this silver spoon seeing Your reflection For You I will always wear this suit of grace and justice... Oh Lord, thank you for inviting me Let us all respond to your messages willingly So fill my glass for me Oh Lord, thank you for your hospitality I raise a toast to Thee...

Noah the picture is spectacular and I so love the words. '... May there come a day when everyone invited will choose to fill this hall...' And there would be peace evermore.... Hugs my friend, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Noah, A lovely write. But are you sure about this part: ========================= Where your hospitality applies salt to my wounds ========================= Guilt in place of gratitude was never His plan. Just curious. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
