Things, Things, Things ~

 Things, things, things,
they are everywhere . . .
things leading my faith
into a state of disrepair.

Things taking up my time,
running my life too
things keeping me from . . .
the “thing” I should do.

Things taking me from God,
wasting my time with them
things I don’t really need
idols He would condemn.

Things cluttering my mind,
taking over my thoughts
things people gave me
things that I have bought.

Things, things, things,
causing me grief and strife
getting rid of those things . . .
not leading to eternal life!

Snippet of The Day ~10.05.18~

From the Poem:   Things

Things ~

Things, we all possess them,
most of them have a hold on us
demanding all of our attention
oh, how over them we love to fuss.

Things, cluttering up our lives,
stuffed away in crammed drawers
lying out in the open spaces
locked away behind closed doors.

Things, keeping us so very busy,
taking us here and there
requiring all our leisure moments
leaving no time for God to spare.

Things, the need for this and that,
longing after the newest toy
always needing to upgrade
oh, how they give us so much joy.

Things, we gotta have them all,
tucking them deep inside our heart
playing with them in our minds
keeping us from God far apart.

Things, we all have lots of them,
taking the place of our Bibles
oh, how we worship them . . .
but to God they’re all idols!

Things, Things, Things ~

Things, things, things . . .
they are everywhere
their causing me grief
misery and despair.

Things, taking up my time,
running my life too
things that are keeping me
from the “thing” I should do.

Things, cluttering up my mind,
taking over my thoughts
things people give me
things that I have bought.

Things, taking me from God,
wasting instead time with them
things ruining my relationship
idols God would condemn.

Things, things, things,
who needs them anymore
getting rid of all my  things
and then God I’ll not ignore!
