SENIORS SPECIAL POEM
By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.
The following article came to me recently and I contended that I should pass it on. It has been slightly edited and a conclusion added.
A row of bottles on my shelf - Caused me to analyze myself.
One yellow pill I have to pop - Goes to my heart so it won't stop.
A little white one that I take - Goes to my hands so they won't shake.
The blue ones that I use a lot - Tell me I'm happy when I'm not.
The purple pill goes to my brain - And tells me that I have no pain.
The capsules tell me not to wheeze - Or cough or choke or even sneeze.
The red ones, smallest of them all - Go to my blood so I won't fall.
The orange ones, very big and bright - Prevent my leg cramps in the night.
Such an array of brilliant pills - Helping to cure all kinds of ills.
But what I'd really like to know - Is what tells each one where to go!
There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.
At our church services we often sing, Count Your Many Blessings. This is a song that should thrill one's heart. However, the devil will constantly attempt to get us to forget our blessings and become more of a critic than a thankful spirited person. This world can be a better place to live and will be if each of us strives to constantly be praising
our Creator rather than finding fault with our fellow human being.
Plainly, don?t get short changed. Let's be ready to meet our Maker. The Bible teaches in Acts that to avoid hell and gain heaven - one must:
1) Believe In Jesus As Savior (16:31) 2) Repent Of Sins (17:30)
3) Confess Christ Audibly (8:37) 4) Be Baptized In Water (2:38)
5) Live A Christian Life (14:22) 6) Be Active In the Church (2:47)
