Thought for the Day 10/19/2007

Colossians 4:5 "Redeem the time" ....

Have you heard of the man who didn't have time?
He hadn't have time to greet the day, he hadn’t have time to laugh or play;
He hadn't time to wait a while, he hadn't time to glean the news,

He hadn't time to dream or muse; He hadn't time to train his mind;
He hadn't time to see a joke, he hadn't time to write his folks;

He hadn't time to read a book, he hadn't time to deeply feel,
He hadn't time to take a rest, he hadn't time to do his best;

He hadn’t time to help a cause, he hadn't time to make a pause;
He hadn't time to pen a note, he hadn't time to say a prayer;

He hadn't time to sing a song, he hadn't time to right a wrong;
He hadn't time to send a gift, he hadn't time to read God's word;

He hadn't time to exercise, he hadn't time to say good-bye;
He hadn't time to enjoy love, he hadn't time to repress noise;

He hadn't time to serve his God; He hadn't time to lend or give,
He hadn't time to really live; He hadn't time to read this verse,

He hadn't time - he's in a hearse - he's dead.
