WIT!! TO! R THOUGHTS
AMD M!NE
So oftimeswc get busy with the
cares of tife and ncgiect the motet
important things. Let us rccail to;
mind the time Jesus was in the home,
of Martha and Mary, and how Maty
was content to sit at His feet. To a))
the Marys! dedicate this poem:
At His Feet
I iong to be like Mary
And sit at His feet
To team more from Jesus
To make life complete.
To hear the great promise.
In Him to abide.
To walk in life's shadows
! With Him by my side.
Oh, make me tike Mary
So peaceful and sweet.
^Content to sit listening
At Jesus dear feet.
jSo glad to be near Him,
His love to receive.
I So willing and anxious,
Each word to believe.
) She learned to live closer
To Jesus each day.
To walk in His footsteps,
Each step of the way.
So make me like Mary,
So humble and pure.
May I sit close to Jesus,
In His love, so secure.
I can be like Mary
His Words are stiil here.
As we read from the Bible.
Then Jesus is near.
It is then we are sitting,
At Jesus dear feet,
We know that He loves us.
And life is complete.
—The Home Spun Poet.
