SHARE YOUR FAITH=CHANGE THE WORLD

SHARE YOUR FAITH=CHANGE THE WORLD


There USED to be
An acronym=KISS=which meant
KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID


And I think Jesus TELLS us
The same thing=when
He tells us=to LET
The CHILDREN come to him


For children=UNLIKE many
Of us adults=have
OPEN & TRUSTING HEARTS


SIMPLE HEARTS=if you will
Are not bogged down
With the COMPLEXITIES of life


“Let the children
COME TO ME


And do NOT prevent them
For the KINGDOM of heaven
BELONGS=to such as these” Matthew 19:14


KISS


I TRY to keep my life=
As SIMPLE as can be
But sometimes it is DIFFICULT
To have the HEART of
A CHILD


BE simple=live with a
HEART of a child
Have FAITH=SHARE IT
CHANGE THE WORLD (simply)


“The law of the Lord
Is PERFECT
REFRESHING the soul


The statutes of the law
Are trustworthy=
Making wise=the simple” Psalm 19:7


“The UNFOLDING of your words
GIVES LIGHT


It gives UNDERSTANDING
To the simple” Psalm 119:130


SHARE your faith
CHANGE THE WORLD
And keep it SIMPLE


Today=August 19th-is the feast day
Of Saint John Eudes


He had a simple plan
A SIMPLE LESSON
For children


TEACH children
The SIGN OF THE CROSS
For in that simple way
They could SPREAD THE FAITH


I spread the faith
With CARDS-with my poems=and by
PRAISING God and Jesus
EVERY chance that I get


HOW do you spread
YOUR CHRISTIAN FAITH?


However you do it
Do it SIMPLY


“You who are SIMPLE
Gain prudence


You who are foolish
Set your HEARTS on it” Proverbs 8:5


“The simple BELIEVE anything
But the PRUDENT
Give THOUGHT to their steps” Proverbs 14:15


Be simple=BUT BE PRUDENT
Have the HEART of a child
OPEN and TRUSTING


And SHARE the faith
Like Jesus=like Saint John Eudes
In the BEST WAY
That you can


As SIMPLY as you can=
And you can HELP
CHANGE THE WORLD


In the NAME of Jesus=our LORD=
And HIS MOST LOVING FATHER
