Thought
Visits from old friends for tea
Companions of a childish me
But now, I can new friends invite
Resist evil not, nor enemies fight
Four Rs in sequence can be tried
With diligence used and applied
React, review, revalue, reframe
Is how to play with life as game
First impression, “please do come
Let me review where you rose from”
See it from the Lord’s throne view
Revalued makes reactions new.
Rehearsing this for habits changed
Shaped best reactions rearranged
Old friends are asked to go away
New lingering ones allowed to stay
Prayer
Lord – forgive me Thy foolish child who wastes the use of the gifts of precious moments. Grant that I may, in the now, play this loving game with Thee of replacing the old playmates with the new.
