1 Timothy 5:8 

8 But if someone does not provide for his own, especially his own family,

he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

 

 

Family togetherness formed in the early beginning

All in a place to come together for simple comfort

In some families for sure this seems to last and simmer

Far beyond the Holidays as written in the heart

 

Love is more than a flowing pen with ink that washes off

It seems more like a fingerprint of the heart to be flown into forever

A gift from God for sure that at times needs dusting off

As we at times neglect it as a memory that won't last

 

Only once a year some faces appear sudden and again

Hearts that were forgotten by the priorities of my life

For goodness sake somehow I could have remembered them

In prayer or thoughtfulness as I escape from daily strife

 

All these forms of selfishness that embrace cares of the world

One by one excuses seem to construct a tower to Heaven

There to confront God with the nonsense of our hurts

Yep we’re quite some characters with self-inflicted wounds

 

A world of confusion as our towers downward tumble

We have little in common then ... even in the church

Laying a foundation of our failures as lives around crumble

and so to start building once again in blindness and so forth
