Corpus Christi



a double Heroic Rispetto,  July 2009


 


Survey the hands that do the tiresome deeds,


the feet that clear the weeds on paths of sin,


the ears that listen, writing down the needs


the loving hearts that pray for souls to win.


 


Disciples offer worthwhile help for free


with gentle words when fellows disagree.


No censure made for lives from guilt reborn


but pure encouragement in lieu of scorn.


 


 


From baskets filled with food for hungry kids


to welcome beds that homeless people crave.


From secret cash for one who’s hit the skids


to counsel giv’n a work-a-holic slave.


 


Observe these ones who bear their Savior’s name.


Envision corpus Christi without shame -


His body glorifying God - forgiv’n -


the church at work and Holy-Spirit-driv’n.

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.
