240824 Your Health

 Your Health

When you go for a physical 
A different trip than when you're ill
Not there 'cause anything is wrong
Assuring you're healthy and strong

Your doctor's checking every parent
Your reflexes, your lungs, and heart
Ears, nose, and throat, your temperature 
Your height and weight, blood work for sure

Yearly exam, if you don't go
When something's wrong, you might not know
Each malady might not show signs
So you believe that all is fine

Each test has a health tale to tell
What blessing if told all is well
For it's the greatest kind of wealth
To know that you're in perfect health

Physical health is just one kind 
We also need a healthy mind
A troubled mind is one that's fraught 
With all kinds of unhealthy thought

Depression, hate, anxiety 
Are all signs your mind's unhealthy 
And add to that the devil's ploys
Attacking thoughts and stealing joys

If your thoughts are unhealthy kind
Seek help to regain peace of mind
Find someone safe you can talk to
Support and grace to get you through 

Which also leads to something else
The state of your spiritual health
Assessing spiritual part of you
Is something you should often do

Does moral compass point the way
To godly things you do and say
Are you attuned to Spirit's call
Or rarely seek God, if at all

For proper habits play great role
In health of bodies, mind and soul
We must feed all good nutrients 
Carefully guard how our time's spent

The Great Physician is the source
Of keeping all health needs on course
If want a life of optimal health
The Bible provides infinite wealth

Seek it's wisdom to guide your days
So you live them in healthy ways
It's what the Father wants for you
He'll give you strength to do it, too

240129 Feelings

Feelings Oh, those pesky feelings How they do get in the way I really don't feel like Doing anything today  I'm not really feeling it Is something I might say When adult responsibility  Is simply what's at play  I'll do that later on, perhaps When I feel in the mood And so put off important things  And not do things I should  My feelings can be fickle things One moment up; next down Can walk around with smiling face Which quickly turns to frown Too often, I give up control  To other's words and deeds Allowing feelings to be hurt And anger to proceed  And oh, how Satan loves to use Emotions that I feel To have me buy into his lies Believing they are real Then, acting on those feelings Oh, so quickly, without thought Bypassing close analysis  Not acting as I ought Of course, God gave us feelings We are not just some A.I. For suppressing all emotion  Is like living in a lie But balance between heart and mind Is how we hold the key To living with...

  Choose Joy Whenever there's a choice to make Let joy be path you choose to take When love and hate are on the scale Let love be one that does prevail When anger - patience doth compete And people we tend to mistreat It's said we sow in what we reap So, sow in patience- temper keep When circumstances bring you down And all you want to do is frown Choose happiness instead, my friend Then soon you'll see your sadness end I know it's easier said than done Often more battles devil's won But get back up and try some more  For after all, God's won the war Choose kindness 'stead of getting back Instead of shortness, practice tact With every godly choice you make The devil's grip begins to break With practice, then quite soon you'll see Good choices come more easily Thus, love and joy will conquer strife Becoming hallmark of your life

240125 Let Others Do It

Let Others Do It Don't really want to put self through it And so I'll just let others do it I'm certain it's too hard for me Sure others can more easily  Don't want to put the effort in Thus, wait for others to begin Not my responsibility  So, really don't depend on me No interest in taking the lead So, wait for others to proceed Though help is needed for a task Don't have the time, so please don't ask Need someone to sit on committee  Look anywhere, but don't look at me I have no interest in the least Besides, don't have the expertise  Ever notice when there's work to do It's often left to just a few The others somehow must be lead Or they'll just stand around instead Perhaps they are a lazy lot  That might be true, but it might not For certainly, there's those that shirk Responsibility and work For some, it's lack of confidence  So initiating makes them tense A fear that they may not succeed Disables them, so don't proce...
