The Word

Mat 7. 7 – 8

“Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.”

Obit

Our obituary may be our last chance to “look good” in the eyes of men.

But by then

we’ve HAD our last time to “look good” in the eyes of God.

I LIKE

 

I like up

Better than down.

Prefer a smile

Above a sad frown.

Will choose a wise man

Over a “Christian” clown.

Have renounced sin’s garment

Hope to wear heaven’s glad crown.

And have left destruction’s city

Bound for that gold-streeted Town.
