Oh, God, forgive me when I whine

[IrishAngel]

A oldie but a beauty!

Today, upon a bus,
I saw a girl with golden hair
I looked at her and sighed
and wished I was as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and used a crutch
But as she passed, she passed a smile.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine
I have 2 legs, the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy  
The lad who sold it had such charm  
I talked with him a while,
he seemed so very glad  
If I were late, it'd do no harm.  
And as I left, he said to me,  
" I thank you, you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you.
You see," he said, "I'm blind."

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.

Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue
He stood and watched the others play
He did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,  
"Why don't you join the others, dear? "
He looked ahead without a word.
And then I knew, he couldn't hear.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.  
I have 2 ears, the world is mine.
With feet to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I would know.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I've been blessed indeed, The world is mine.

Sorrow looks back,
Worry looks around,
Faith looks up.

*Ahem* The ones who would see it are the ones that already know you well enough to be in your house TO see it!  

When we just need to whine.....
Psalm 142:
1 I cry aloud to the LORD ;
I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.
2 I pour out my complaint before him;
before him I tell my trouble.

In other words the ones who would see it already KNOW i`m strange eh

I just love the Canuckie "eh". Says so much with so few wasted words!

But couldn't it be shortened to a simple 'e'? Or how about an attractive, breathy 'h'?

Yesterday I ran over my own foot with my wheelchair..Took a minute to be grateful I could feel the pain.

Not even going to ask how, but you just made my day.....

(by the way, sorry for your pain)

Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good; his love is eternal. - Psalm 106:1 God Speaks Bible

Although they may not have known its title or by whom it was painted, most people have seen a copy of The Song of the Lark, a famous painting by the French artist Jules Breton.
The painting depicts a peasant girl on her way to the field for a hard day's work. Suddenly, it appears, she has heard the sound of a lark. Breton captures her upturned face, alive with hope and joy, thrilled to hear the lilting beauty of the lark's sweet song. From her dress, she is obviously just another peasant girl with a difficult, workaday life. But Breton captures something of her inner soul... a human being glorying in one of nature's loveliest voices, a person enriched by the beauty of God's creation.
Interestingly, the painting has no image of a bird in it. The lark that gives rise to such pleasure is unseen.
And so it is with God. We cannot see Him with our physical eyes. Nevertheless, we can feel His presence and hear His words of comfort, admonition, and encouragement. We do see Him moving in the circumstances. Though unseen, He adds joy, hope, meaning, and purpose to our day-to-day lives.
He is singing a song especially for you today. Look up and listen!
