NO KVETCHING


 “Right Now, Lord, cast the kvetcher out O' me! Please, strengthen my resolve ta GRATEFUL BE! Please, help me always practice thankful ways, and offer up ta You my thanks and praise! My griping closes off my blessings’ flow, and they’re diverted elsewhere, this I know. Please, help me not be stubborn – Foolish, Lord! My gratitude will get my blessings scored! “Complain”, now that’s a word that rhymes with “pain”, that doing sends your blessings down the drain! So, help me straighten up and do what’s right, and then in thankfulness I’ll find delight! Right?”

ANGRY ONES ARE NOT ALONE

 “A stubborn, angry, vicious person hurts; he hurts himself as well as others too. The evil acts, the hateful words he blurts, they’re cries for help, sonme love, some peace, some clue. With love the rocks will open, I believe; the Christ within them Shall one day be known. That grace is what the sufferer Must receive, if he’s ta realize he’s not alone….”
