Quit Supposin'

Here is another poem that I have in my little stash, and I have one more that I will share with you...but we will save that for next time!
This poem doesn't need any introduction, for its meaning, even though written in a "cute" manner, is quite clear and convicting as to our oft feebleness. I pray that this will help your perspective stay focused on God and His countless blessings!

"Quit Supposin'"

Don't start your day by supposin'

that trouble is just ahead,

It's better to stop supposin'

and start with a prayer instead,

And make it a prayer of Thanksgiving

for the wonderful things God has wrought

like the beautiful sunrise and sunset,

"God's Gifts" that are free

and not bought -

For what is the use of supposin'

the dire things that could happen to you

and worrying about some misfortune

that seldom if ever come true-

but instead of just idle supposin'

step forward to meet each new day

secure in the knowledge God's near you

to lead you each step of the way-

for supposin' the worst things will happen

only helps to make them come true

and you darken the bright , happy moments

that the dear Lord has given to you-

So if you desire to be happy

and get rid of the "misery of dread"

Just give up "Supposin' the worst things"

and look for "the best things" instead.
