"THE CAPTAIN OF OUR SHIP"

Hi folks. this is Two Texas PawPaw with some food for thought. It's called "THE CAPTAIN OF OUR SHIP", and it goes like this: OUR LIFE IS LIKE A SHIP AT SEA, SAILING THROUGH THE WATERS---TRYING TO IMPRESS THE ONE'S WE LOVE, OUR SONS AND OUR DAUGHTERS---THE OCEAN CAN BE VERY ROUGH, AND THE TIDE CAN RISE SO HIGH---BUT WE CAN OVERCOME THE STORM IF WE SET OUR MIND AND TRY---THE CAPTAIN OF OUR BATTERED SHIP IS JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF---LAYING DOWN RULES TO LIVE BY TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE LEFT---WITH FOLDED HANDS AND HEADS BOWED LOW, AND OUR EYES AS OUR COMPASS POINTED UP---WE VOW TO THE CAPTAIN TO FOLLOW HIS RULES, AND WE WILL SURELY FILL OUR CUP---OUR JOURNEY MUST BE FOCUSED AND WE DARE NEVER TO BLINK---AND NEVER LET THE BOW BREAK, SO OUR SHIP WILL NEVER SINK---THE STAIRCASE TO THE UPPER DECK, IS CIRCULAR TO MAKE IT SPIRIAL---AND THE KING OF HEAVENS GREAT CITY, WAITS FOR OUR GLORIOUS ARRIVAL---THE VOYAGE WILL BE A WASTED TRIP, IF IN THE END YOU FIND YOU'RE NOT THERE---BUT THE GREATEST GIFT TO OUR CAPTAIN, WILL BE THE WAY WE GOT THERE---SO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR VESSEL, AND CONQUER THE MIGHTY SEA---FOR LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT, AND IT'S THERE FOR YOU AND ME.

"WITH JESUS ON YOUR MIND"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw. I realize its been a while since I posted but I got away from it for awhile due to lack of readers. Now I have found a new friend in South Africa and I am sending a poem to my new friend. I just wrote this about 2 months ago for my great grand daughter who was 1 year old. My grand daughter, her mother, put it in her baby book to read to her in future years. I want to pass it on to my new friend. It goes like this: WHEN YOU WAKE UP SEEKING COMFORT AND ITS SOMETHING YOU CANT FIND---TRY STARTING OUT EACH MORNING, WITH JESUS ON YOUR MIND---YOU WILL FIND THE WORLD YOU LIVE IN WILL HAVE MUCH BETTER WAYS---AFTER ALL GOD BUILT IT AND IT ONLY TOOK SIX DAYS---AND DONT FORGET THAT DARK DAY UPON MT CALVARY---AS HE HUNG BETWEEN THE TWO THEIVES, HE THOUGHT OF YOU AND ME---AN ACT THAT CANT BE EQUALED, WHEN HE ROSE UP FROM THAT GRAVE---AND WALKED ABOUT THIS WORLD OF OURS, SEEKING SOULS TO SAVE---A GREATER CALMNESS THERE WILL NEVER BE, RESTING IN YOUR HEART--UNLESS YOU MAKE SURE EVERYDAY, THAT JESUS HAS A PART---YOU TOO CAN HAVE A SPECIAL ACT, MOST BLESSED AND MOST KIND---IF YOU START OUT EVERY MORNING "WITH JESUS ON YOUR MIND". This is Two Texas PawPaw, signing off, and I will be back.
