CLEANING HOUSE



Last Week I threw out worrying,
it was getting old and in the way.
It kept me from being me;
I couldn't do things God's way.


I threw out a book on MY PAST
(Didn't have time to read it anyway).
Replaced it with NEW GOALS,
started reading it today.



I threw out hate and bad memories,
(Remember how I treasured them so)?
Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too,
threw out the one from long ago.



Brought in some new books too,
called I CAN, I WILL, and I MUST.
Threw out I might, I think and I ought.
WOW, you should've seen the dust.



I ran across an OLD FRIEND,
I hadn't talked to in a while.
His name is GOD the Father,
and I really like His style.



He helped me to do some cleaning
and added some things Himself.
Like PRAYER, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE,
Yes... I placed them right on the shelf.



I picked up this special thing
and placed it at the front door.
I FOUND IT- its called PEACE.
Nothing gets me down anymore.



Yes, I've got my house looking nice.
Looks good around the place.
For things like Worry and Trouble
there just isn't any space.



It's good to do a little house cleaning,
Get rid of the things on the shelf.
It sure makes things brighter;
maybe you should TRY IT YOURSELF.
BE BLESSED AND BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE ELSE!!!!

you will not have room enough to receive it all.
