Month: September 2019

Have you ever seen a herd of sheep

With no lambs within the fold

Shepherds sure would be concerned

That their flocks would get too old

Sheep that are not reproducing

Not adding numbers to their kind

Will cause the herd to dwindle

Down to nothing in due time

If you want the flock to flourish

To grow in number and in size

Surely lambs are always needed

There can be no compromise

As a body of believers in Christ

In a church where there are no lambs

The shepherd and the sheep lose sight

Of who will carry on God’s plans

The lambs are as important

As the shepherd and the sheep

Secure the herds existence

With lambs made strong not weak

We all are ewes when it comes to the lambs

Nurturing them in God’s word and His will

That they all become sheep of His pasture

Gather more lambs for the flock to be filled

So when you look around the pews

And young lambs can not be seen

We as sheep must change our view

And bring in lambs to be weened

The meeting was called to order

They took their seats and settled in

They were there to approve the plans

To build an after school center and gym

The common concern was for the children

A place of safety for after school fun

Not going home to an empty house

Most parents workday was not yet done

The meeting became very disruptive

And soon was out of hand

People shouting from their seats

Each one had their own plans

They soon lost sight of their common goal

Fussing over flooring and the color of walls

Forgetting the children and getting of track

No building approved, they were choking on gnats

The children had nowhere to go at that time

Some made good choices, some turned to crime

Would the center have helped, having some place to go?

After choking on gnats, hmmm, we may never know

In times of trials and suffering

When things are going south

There is a form of buffering

It’s speaking God’s word from your mouth

How do we so often forget

The times of God’s refreshing

For He is faithful not to neglect

To shower us with blessings

As ones who know the word of God

We Christians should all know

To be aware of falsehoods and facades

God’s truth is what we should know

So remember trials you’ve faced before

That God has brought you through

And take a seat at Heaven’s door

Wait and see what God will do
