ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

We have

SO MUCH in this world-particularly in OUR country

I think

SOMETIMES we forget

SOMETIMES we need

To make room-in our hearts-in our minds-

And in our souls

FOR a little attitude adjustment

I know that this

IS the case with me

We need to remember

To SAY THANK YOU to God

For ALL that he has given us

In fact

OUR VERY OWN LIFE is a gift

“The God

Who made the world

And everything in it

Is the Lord of heaven

And earth

And does not live

In temples by hands

And he is not served

As if he needed anything

Because he himself

GIVES ALL MEN

Life and breath and everything else

From one man

He made every nation

Of men

That they should inhabit

The WHOLE EARTH

And he determined

The times set by them

And the exact places

Where they should live

GOD did this so men

Would seek him

And perhaps reach out for him

Though

He is NOT FAR

From each one of us

For in him WE LIVE

And move and have being

As some

OF OUR OWN POETS have said:

‘WE ARE HIS OFFSPRING’”                                                      Acts 17:24-28

And THIS POET

Shall say it too:  ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

Your life

Is a GIFT from God

What you do with it

Is your gift back to him

And if

We are still struggling

And feeling gloom and doom

TRY starting each day

By reading Psalm 105

IT has a LONG

And SIMPLE theme

REMEMBER what God has done

And THANK him for it

“GIVE THANKS to the Lord

Call on his name

MAKE KNOWN

Among all nations

What he has done

SING to him

TELL OF ALL his wonderful acts”                                                           Psalm 105:1-2

Dear Lord

I pray-we pray

FOR an attitude adjustment

We say THANK YOU

FOR OUR LIVES

We thank you

For our jobs and our schools

We thank you

For the people you place

IN OUR LIVES

For we know even the difficult ones

Are there for a reason

FOR WE ALL NEED

A little attitude adjustment
