Poem by Jim Riley

How Soon We Forget

Did you thank God when the bad

storms missed you?

Or did you forget the next morn-

ing when the sky had turned blue?

Seems to me, we pray hardest

when we are in trouble.

I know you might be like me when

I’m afraid, I pray double.

I am so glad that I have God on my

side.

As much as I sin, God let’s some

things slide.

Sometimes we forget to pray, for

people who lose everything.

With bad storms, hail, high winds,

sometimes too much rain.

Some people lose all they have

when the flood water rise.

Their homes, crops and lots of

their livestock dies.

So the next time we wake up and

everything is ok,

After a bad storm, thank God for

another wonderful day!

OUR MISSION:

To

connect

people to

God and

connect

people to

each

other

to

produce

powerful,

positive

life

Change
