A stop sign for Christmas

Posted

Google, Facebook,  GPS, Twitter are all telling  us what to do, where to go, what to think, and who to be.

How's that working for you?

Because it's never worked for me.

News people everywhere show us the world as they see it

 as the world teeters  closer to the brink

back to days of  hiding under  desks,

and everything becomes more and more of a mess.

We took God out of the classroom but He is waiting at the door.

We took him out of society,

but He is ever hovering as before.

Ask and you will receive.

Knock and the door will be opened

to you.

But we do not ask.

Our speech is more like a demand.

Prayers go to God

But defiant demands make us think that  we're too grand.

Call upon Him

Not some dumb Tick Tock star or some reality nitwit

But keep him central in your life and

Goodness and happiness will be the new fit.

At Christmas, let's invite him into our schools

 Into our homes, and into our hearts.

If we keep Him right by our side

This world would be a very different ride.
