Spiritual Poem

When I Am Reminded©

By Gaye Combs

Each day is a new beginning given by GodI am reminded how blessed I am as this road I tread.A new friendship comes to mind and it is my treasure.Watching a child at play is my greatest pleasure.Being able to help a fallen soul willbe my greatest joy.Watching a bird build a nest while theworld searches for rest.I am reminded I am only a small part of his plan.When skies are blue or gray you are always there beside me.I am reminded of God's love at the siteof a rainbow after the rain.When I see the flag I'm reminded of thefreedoms I share.I remember God's love to me when Isuffer much pain.As the clowns come to town I am grateful I'm able to laugh.I'll share your heavy load to let youknow I care.I am reminded day by day we have much to share.

BE RICH WITH GOD!


Be Rich with God!
1 Timothy 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;A sailor who was shipwrecked on a desert island was captured by some of the natives of that island. They carried him off on their shoulders to their village, where he was sure he would end up being the main course. But instead, they put a crown on his head and made him king. He was enjoying all the attention he was receiving but was growing a little suspicious. He started making inquiries and discovered that their custom was to crown a stranger king for a year and at the end of that year the crowned king would be sent to a deserted island where he was allowed to starve to death.Obviously, this did not appeal to the sailor so he devised a plan. Since he was the king and the natives obeyed his every order, he ordered them to ship supplies to the island where he would be sent when the year was up. He had them clear the land and build him a hut and plant enough vegetables and fruits for quite an adequate garden.When his year was up and was banned to the deserted island, he lived in abundance.How are we using the good gifts God has graciously given us? Wealth and authority can be a dangerous thing -- or it can be a blessing. It can be used to destroy and tear down or to store up good things in heaven. The choice is ours. Let's ask the Lord to help us to be wise in our attitude toward our material possessions that we might not end up being rich in things and poor with God!Added: Nov 16th, 2007 10:14 AM
