"IF JESUS CAME TO YOUR HOUSE"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw and I know you are all waiting to hear what the last thing you would do if you won the Texas Lottery. Before I tell you, I'm going to give you some Food For Thought! It's a poem that I borrowed part of and added part of and it makes for some interesting thinking. It goes like this:-----IF JESUS CAME TO YOUR HOUSE TO SPEND A DAY OR TWO---IF HE CAME UNEXPECTED, JUST DROPPED IN ON YOU---I KNOW YOU'D GIVE YOUR NICEST ROOM TO SUCH AN HONORED GUEST---AND ALL THE FOOD YOU WOULD SERVE HIM WOULD BE THE VERY BEST---AND YOU WOULD KEEP ASSURING HIM YOU WERE GLAD TO HAVE HIM THERE---THAT SERVING HIM IN YOUR HOME WAS JOY BEYOND COMPARE---BUT WHEN YOU SAW HIM COMING, WOULD YOU MEET HIM AT THE DOOR---WITH YOUR ARMS OUTSTRETCHED AND A WELCOME FOR YOUR HEAVENLY VISITOR---OR WOULD YOU HAVE TO CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES BEFORE YOU LET HIM IN---OR HIDE CERTAIN MAGAZINES AND PUT THE BIBLE WHERE THEY HAD BEEN---WOULD YOU TURN OFF THE T.V. AND HOPE HE HADN'T HEARD---AND WISH YOU HADN'T UTTERED THAT LAST LOUD HASTY WORD---WOULD YOU HIDE YOUR WORLD OF MUSIC AND PUT SOME HYMN BOOKS OUT---COULD YOU LET JESUS WALK RIGHT IN OR WOULD YOU RUSH ABOUT---AND I WONDER IF THE SAVIOR SPENT A DAY OR TWO WITH YOU---WOULD YOU GO RIGHT ON DOING THE THINGS YOU ALWAYS DO---WOULD YOU GO RIGHT ON SAYING THE THINGS YOU ALWAYS SAY---WOULD LIFE FOR YOU CONTINUE AS IT DOES FROM DAY TO DAY---WOULD YOUR FAMILY CONVERSATION KEEP UP IT'S USUAL PACE---OR WOULD YOU FIND IT HARD EACH MEAL TO SAY A TABLE GRACE---WOULD YOU SING THE SONGS YOU ALWAYS SING AND READ THE BOOKS YOU ALWAYS READ---AND LET HIM KNOW ALL THE THINGS ON WHICH YOUR MIND AND SPIRIT FEED---WOULD YOU TAKE JESUS WITH YOU EVERY WHERE YOU PLAN TO GO---OR MAYBE WOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR PLANS FOR JUST A DAY OR SO---WOULD YOU BE GLAD TO HAVE HIM MEET YOUR VERY CLOSEST FRIENDS---OR HOPE THAT THEY WOULD STAY AWAY UNTIL HIS VISIT ENDS---WOULD YOU BE GLAD TO HAVE HIM STAY FOREVER ON AND ON---OR WOULD YOU BREATH WITH GREAT RELIEF WHEN AT LAST HE HAD GONE---IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING TO KNOW THE THINGS THAT YOU WOULD DO---IF JESUS CAME IN PERSON TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOU---YES, IF JESUS CAME TO YOUR HOUSE, I WONDER--WHAT YOU WOULD DO!-----This is Two Texas PawPaw. signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I'll be back tomorrow. Oh, by the way, the last thing all of you would do if you won the Texas Lottery, YOU WOULD WAKE UP FROM A TERRIBLE DREAM!!!
