Eye Test

I was performing a complete physical, including the visual acuity test. I placed the patient twenty feet form the chart and began, "Cover your right eye with your hand."

He read the 20/20 line perfectly.

"Now your left."

Again, a flawless read.

"Now both," I requested.

There was silence. He couldn't even read the large E on the top line.

I turned and discovered that he had done exactly what I had asked. He was standing there with both his eyes covered. I was laughing too hard to finish the exam.

Wasting Breath

If you would like to prove,
What Jesus Christ can do,
Why don't you let folk see
What He can do for you?
For there's no better way
To tell of Him we trust,
Than that our friends should see
What He has done for us.
And you are wasting breath
Repeating what He taught,
If friends can't see in you
The change His Presence wrought.

Sitting by the Fire

An old man sat by the open fire
   And dreamed the years away.
While outside in the battle of life
   Many perished in the toils of day.
He never did any good, nor did he
   Ever do any wrong.
He just sat by the open fire
   And dreamed the whole day long.
Now he's left a vacant chair and
   They say he's gone up higher,
But if he still does what he used to do,
   He's sitting by the fire!

My Part

God didn't put me on this earth, to have an easy time.
    He put me here to fight, to hold a battle line.
He put me here to help the weak, and myself grow strong.
    He put me here to lend a hand, and help the world along.
He put me here to say a word of encouragement and cheer;
   He put me here to sing a song, for someone else to hear.
He didn't put me here to whine, stick out my lips and pout.
    He put me here to do his work, and Satan’s evil rout.
He didn't put me here to seek rewards and starry crowns.
    He put me here to do my part, and see that love abounds.
So I'll just seek to do my part, as I travel through these lands,
    and I will strive to do his will, and leave all in his hands.
