TAKE TIME TO BE HUMBLE
Taking for granted God’s gift of health
Unprepared for unexpected problems dealt
Brought to a screeching halt and afraid
We are reminded to stop and pray
Why is it when we are in trouble we call
But when we are busy we don’t until we fall
Our Father wishes to hear from us everyday
Take time from your work and play
When we are in trouble He sends help our way
Humbling us to remember He is just a call away
Using others to show His love is always there
We at least can take time to talk to Him in prayer

About this poem:
This week I came to a screeching halt with a torn cartilage in my right knee. He sent my church family to help me out so very much. Not sure how long will be laid up but I know I am loved by him - my brothers and my church brothers and sisters.Poems entered on these pages are copyrighted by the authors who entered them.

Sorry to hear about your injury I did that many moons ago was painful and slow healing process ..
Hope you are better soon
Unfortunately I'm afraid that we all sometimes take too much for granted, and so often forget or don't bother ~ to give thanks.

Just a few more more things. It would appear that you believe all of this stuff in the absolute (literal) sense. Now I am not a Biblical expert, as I can see that you are. I just wish to say this: It is beyond me, in this day and age how anyone can believe that we were somehow "created" by God when there is more than ample fossil evidence for evolution. As Dostoyevsky says in his classic existential essay: Notes From Underground: "when some body much smarter than you proves that you were descended from a monkey...don't get upset and jump up and down, accept it for a fact" (slightly paraphrased; however they are words to this effect). Now that smarter person to whom Dostoyevsky refers was in fact Charles Darwin (you may have heard of him).
Commonsense would tell you that we have to be descended from a previous animal ancestor, and in our case that just happens to be a particular branch of the primate family (monkeys). It would appear that you really do believe that we came into existence like a puff of smoke (as in a magician's trick). I suppose that was 6000 years ago was it? I find that sad, personally, particularly now that we are well and truly out of the Dark Ages. Did God throw in a few dinosaur and mammoth fossils just to confuse us? Well if he did, he certainly has a sense of humor.
Anyway we could go on and on about this, and I can see that you have your beliefs regardless (despite ample tangible/physical evidence to the contrary). Once again you are entitled to these beliefs, just as I am entitled to mine, and I respect this. I wish you well, and I would still consider you a friend in the Poet's Corner...
