"Oh, I am so poor," you say
"I have no clothes to wear"
Yet hanging in your closets
Are fashions new and rare.

"I have nothing to eat," you say
"There's nothing ready made"
Yet your fridge and cupboards
Have food for which you've paid.

"Our home just isn't big enough
I can't find any room"
Yet you're in out of the cold
Protected from the gloom.

"I don't have any money now"
I've often heard you say
Yet your bills are paid in full
Each and every day.

We want this and we want that
But what we really need
Is to have a heart of thanks
Instead of constant greed.


Jesus lives in my heart!

Nice job. Remind me to not complain about the little things in life any longer.

(big hugggsssssss) It is so sad but true, and I pray soon we can abandon the capitalistic system and work to providing what we REALLY need! (sad sigh) All we need is through the Light, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sheri, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shien upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
