Remember

I wrote this poem for the Step of Faith 13th annual Christmas Concert today.



Remember



Remember when life was simplier and coke was something you drank.


Remember when it wasn't abuse to give your child a little spank.


Remember three channels, four if your attena was just right.


Remember leaving your doors unlocked when you went to bed at night.


Remember your first telephone and you probably had a party line.


Remember wearing a cross to work, and everything was just fine.


Remember playing after lunch, just be home when the street lights came on.


Remember turning on the radio and actually understanding the song.


Remember having to get out of the chair just to turn the channel.


Remember when modern technology was teaching the bible with a board and some flannel.


Remember when the whole family ate together at the table.


Remember when being a Christian was not a negative label.


Remember when respect was shown when the National Anthem was played.


Remember when marriage meant, no matter what, we both commit to stay.


Remember waking on Christmas morning full of excitement and glee,


And being overwhelmed with just one or two presents under the tree.


Remember when someone told you that we are in need of saving grace.


Well, please always remember the love found in Jesus' face.


For many things have changed and few have stayed the same,


but Christmas is about eternal life ... found only in Jesus Name!
