If Jesus Came To Your House

If Jesus came to your house to spend a day or two-

If He came unexpectedly I wonder what you'd do.

Oh, I know you'd give your nicest room to such an honored guest.

And all the food you'd serve Him would be the very best.

And you would keep assuring Him you're glad to have him there.

That serving Him within your home is a joy beyond compare.

But, when you saw Him coming would you meet him at the door,

With arms outstretched in welcome of your Heavenly Visitor?

Or would you have to change your clothes before you let him in.

Or hide some current magazines and put the Bible where they'd been?

Would you turn off the radio - and hope He hadn't heard?

And wish you hadn't uttered that last, loud hasty word?

Would you hide your worldy music and put some hymn books out?

Could Jesus walk right in, or would you have to rush about?

And so I wonder, if the Savior spent a day or two with you,

Would you continue doing the things you always do?

Would you go right on repeating the things you always say?

Would life for you continue as it does today?

Would your family conversation keep up its usual pace,

And at the dinner table could you say a word of grace?

Would you sing the songs you always sing, and read the books you read?

And let him know the things on which your mind and spirit feed?

And would you take Him with you everywhere you planned to go?

Or would you maybe change your plans for just a day or so?

Would you be glad to have Him meet your closest friends-

Or would you hope they'd stay away until His visit ends?

Would you be glad to have Him stay forever - on and on -

Or would you sigh with great relief when He, at last, was gone?

Yes, it might be interesting to know the things that you would do

If Jesus came in person to spend some time with you.

What Life Do I Want?

Thanks to my Sister in Law, she sent me this really great Poem that I want to share with you!  It is titled..."What Life Do I Want?"

As I stare out the window,

Tears still in my eyes.

I see the vision of those I love,

As we said our last goodbyes.

The flight was long and tiring.

As two questions plagued my mind;

Do I want the life ahead of me,

Or the one I left behind?

You see twenty four months is such a long time

For going door to door.

In my reflection, I thought,

There must be something more.

I struggled down off the plane,

Looking for a friendly face.

When a man called Pres. said:

"Son, you've come to the right place!"

I sit reflecting once again

As this day is my last.

Please, Lord, it isn't fair,

The time came way to fast.

As I stare out the window

Tears still in my eyes,

I see the visions of those I love,

As we said our last goodbyes.

The flight was long and tiring,

As two questions plagued my mind;

Do I want the life ahead of me,

Or the one I left behind?
