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 built 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
Sing praise 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
