A Little Birdie Told Me

 There are those who preach

And those who teach

Those who evangelize~

Some tell the truth

While some tell lies~

How will you know, the foolish from the wise?

You’ll know, for love is shown in deed not just words

Some just want to be seen and heard~

Watch the animals for I am told

Some will carry a tale brought by a little bird~

One way to know, is, humility you’ll see

Kindness and gentleness are sure to be

Shown from a heart that’s been to the tree~

No judgment or condemning ways will they display

Pointing to Jesus will be their way~

Keep your eyes, ears, and heart open don’t just go by what they say~

Some come as innocent lambs, but will cause you to stray~

Walk in the light, keep your eyes off the clay~

For Jesus is the life, the truth and the way!!!

Ecclesiastes 10:19-20 The Message (MSG)

Laughter and bread go together, And wine gives sparkle to life— But it’s money that makes the world go around.

Don’t bad-mouth your leaders, not even under your breath, And don’t abuse your betters, even in the privacy of your home. Loose talk has a way of getting picked up and spread around. Little birds drop the crumbs of your gossip far and wide.
