Cleaning House for 2009

This poem was sent to me by my friend Emily!

Last Week I threw out WORRYING
it was getting old and in the way.

It kept me from being me:
I couldn't do things God's Way.

I threw out a book on MY PAST,
(didn't have time to do it anyway),
Replaced it with NEW GOALS,
started reading it today.

I threw out hate and bad memories,
(Remember how I treasured them so)?

Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too,
threw out the one from long ago.

Brought in some new books too,
called I CAN, I WILL, AND I MUST.

Threw out I might, I think and I ought.
WOW, you should have seen the dust.

I ran across an old friend, I hadn't talk to in a while.
His name is GOD the FATHER,
and I really like HIS Style.

He helped me to do some cleaning
and added some things HIMSELF.

LIKE PRAYER, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE
Yes, I replaced them right off the shelf.

I picked up this special thing and placed
it at the front door.

I FOUND IT-its called PEACE.
Nothing gets me down anymore.

Yes, I got my house looking nice (getting there for me)
Looks good around the place.

For things like WORRY and TROUBLE
there just isn't any space.

It's good to do a little house cleaning
Get rid of the things on the shelf.

It sure makes things brighter;
maybe you should TRY IT YOURSELF.

Be blessed and Be a blessing to someone else!

May the Lord Open your Windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that you will not have room enough to receive it all. Malachi 3:10

May the Lord bless you exceedingly abundantly above all you could ever hope for. Philippians 4:19
