"For Thee"

          " For Thee"

 

Have you ever stopped and wondered why,

Some people are happy, while many others cry?

The rich sit down...and eat a feast,

While others are starving, with little to eat.

One man can walk around in $300. new shoes,

Yet a homeless person...has no shoes to lose.

Why can't those that have...learn to share,

With the world's poor...spread out everywhere.

When serving our Lord,,you give of yourself,

To the very poor, and those with wealth.

But..God's children, can only do so much,

In helping others...down on their luck.

Will you join me..in this simple prayer,

To show this world...just how much we care.

 

     "Blessed lord, I come to You with this request,

That all of your children ,,will do their best.

To help your children...hungry and poor,

So that they will have their needs met, and so much more.

Lord.... none will come to You...unless You call,

I ask You .....not, to let one fall;

Into satan's black.... and evil snare.

Lord, your people are praying everywhere.

Please save, heal, provide for and more,

To help those lost ones... reach..heaven's door.

Soften hearts..and please let people see.

The poor..lost and hungry...are precious to thee.

And dear Lord, just one more request,

Help me to do my part...and to do my best."

"For Thee"

The answer to that is man, and the greed of many. As has been demonstrated recently, the greed of Wall Street has known no bounds, and has tipped the entire world into a parlous situation, possibly worse that the Wall Street Crash of 1929. The capitalist system encourages greed, and perpetuates the ever increasing gap between the 'haves' and the 'have nots'. But interestingly, for the 'haves', enough is never enough. They become obsessed with the getting of wealth, while the poor don't even figure in their plans. So the news a few days ago that Australia's richest man was bleeding wealth at $6000 a minute was hardly sad news - more like celebration! Here was a man who bet $7 million on the spin of a roullette wheel, now crying in his caviar about losing upwards of $2 BILLION dollars. Ho ho I say... and a ha ha, and even a little hee hee!

Outstanding poem and prayer. I agree with your thoughts. Oh, what has this world come to...just today I read on the news; where a trusted Doctor, a doctor of all people! Was performing unneeded open heart surgeries- all for money. The greed of some people...is disturbing.

I agree with your thoughts and I liked your prayer.

like Jesus told the rich man to follow him he had to give all his money to the poor, that man could not do it and nowadays money is the God to many, it's why I believe money is the antichrist that will raise someone up to stand against Christ, they know that when he come's their wealth will disappear :)

Willard, we all need to do more to spread His word. The world is hurting. Kathie

[Willard Wells]

Unfortunately those seeing and feeling the pain are not in a position of change. Hopefully with more voices expressing a need, someone will start to listen. It has to happen in all parts of the world. The internet can spread the word and hopefully someday we can be a truly human society.

Like in Hungary where the Syrians are running to escape ISIS. Kathie

remember the first shall become the last,the wealthy will become the poor
we reap what we sow !

Ron, not all wealthy are selfish. Not all poor need to be, they are just lazy and want all handed to them. We need God's wisdom to tell them apart. Kathie

[wordman]

we have gods wisdom kathie,we just need to learn how to accept it !

[Perkele.7885]

Kathie, you are always doing your part. we need to do ours!

Poverty is a blessing to some people, cause if they become rich they will wreck their souls, on the other hand, if some of the rich were poor, they will not bear to live. I see life is balanced even between these two kinds of people, but i am not saying that the rich don't have obligations to those whom are in need. Life is an exam for both of the rich and the poor and they must know that they are in a big one, they both seek happiness and must ask themselves Is happiness found in having more money or is it else where? Happiness is surely found in the heart, but what does make it exist there and stays without leaving?

I am from a family of 9 children. I never thought of us as being poor. My dad always provided and we had Jesus. Kathie
