A Heart Half Full

A Heart Half Full

A heart half full means something’s wrong -
the Spirit’s flame burns low.
Emptied, broken we can be strong
refilled, ready to go.
God’s strength restores a heart that’s dull
our selfish contents He can cull.
          God’s strength restores
          God’s strength restores
each day to keep His mark on full.

A heart half full means needs may go
unmet by God’s own grace.
We’re called to let our fellows know
that we will win this race.
God’s Word abounds with help each day,
it must be read to find the Way.
          God’s Word abounds
          God’s Word abounds
to fill the empty hearts who stray.

A heart half full calls us to prayer,
it’s time to take a break.
Engaged with work, no time to spare
another’s thirst to slake.
God’s love pours forth when we look up
and ask for wisdom in our cup.
         God’s love pours forth
         God’s love pours forth
enough to share, our neighbors sup.

About the Poet
Growing older with some pains and discomfort, graying hair, glasses, partial plate and hearing aids but with complete assurance of my eternal domain. Saved by choice by Gods free grace by Jesus life, death and resurrection. Born and bred in the Bluegrass State for 24 years, I crossed the Ohio River and became a Hoosier forever thereafter until that time God calls me to my heavenly home. Christian for fifty-five plus years. Church musician and SS teacher for most all of my Wednesdays and Sundays. Public school teacher for thirty-six school terms; retired with a class now of three grandchildren off and on during the week. Wife for half my life to the same superman. Mama to two unique sons. Mother-in-law to a fine daughter; Nana to one darling girl and two handsome guys. God has blessed me abundantly; thank you, Father. God quiets my hackles; God quickens my heart; God quells my hunger. Blessed be His holy name.
