19th Birthday Poem

i wrote this poem for a friend girl, who's really popular but with the wrong crowd.
and shes getting a bunch of attention on her birthday (mostly guys)
and its a great opportunity to preach, i hope she did

The christian as a mirror

Tho you've turned 21 minus 2
And that its your birthday is totally true
Just stop, and remember the essence
This day is not about you.

Stop the fuss and the flurry
Slow........the.........hurry,
And remember who deserves
All the glory

The attention feels good, i know,
But as a christian , let it show,

When people shine the spotlight on you,
Just reflect it back UP where its due
At the same time they will see
the image of God in thee.

Christian Perspective of a Boss

Colossians 3:22,23 ; "Servants, obey your masters in all things according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as menpleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God, and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men..."



We might have a bad boss or a mean manager, but all our work is to be done as to the Lord, not men. The boss may be the man writing out the monthly check but God is the One who blesses his bussines.



Your attitude before the boss could influence his impression of your character, but if God is more important in your life, and He should be, then the hidden man (when you're alone) counts more.

Pleasing God is more important. Make that your priority.



p.s. I'm no great theologian, i just read this during my Bible study time and i find myself lacking in this area.
