CLEANING HOUSE FOR 2007!!

LAST WEEK I THREW OUT WORRYING, IT WAS GETTING OLD AND IN THE WAY.
IT KEPT ME FROM BEING ME; I COULDN'T DO THINGS GOD'S WAY.
I THREW OUT A BOOK ON MY PAST
(DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO READ IT ANYWAY)
REPLACED IT WITH NEW GOALS, STARTED READING IT TODAY.
I THREW OUT HATE AND BAD MEMORIES,
(REMEMBER HOW I TREASURED THEM SO)?
GOT ME A NEW PHILOSOPHY TOO, THREW OUT ONE FROM LONG AGO.
BROUGHT IN SOME NEW BOOKS TOO, CALLED
I CAN, I WILL, AND I MUST.
THREW OUT I MIGHT, I THINK AND I OUGHT.
WOW, YOU SHOULD'VE HAVE SEEN THE DUST.
I RAN ACROSS AN OLD FRIEND, I HADN'T TALKED TO IN A WHILE.
HIS NAME IS GOD THE FATHER, AND I REALLY LIKE HIS STYLE.
HE HELPED ME TO DO SOME CLEANING AND ADDED SOME THINGS HIMSELF.
LIKE PRAYER, HOPE, FAITH, AND LOVE,
YES I PLACED THEM RIGHT ON THE SHELF.
I PICKED UP THIS SPECIAL THING AND PLACED IT AT THE FRONT DOOR.
I FOUND IT--ITS CALLED PEACE.
NOTHING GETS ME DOWN ANYMORE.
YES, I'VE GOT MY HOUSE LOOKING NICE.
LOOKS GOOD AROUND THE PLACE.
FOR THINGS LIKE WORRY AND TROUBLE THERE JUST ISN'T ANY SPACE.
IT'S GOOD TO DO A LITTLE HOUSE CLEANING,
GET RID OF THE THNGS ON THE SHELF.
IT SURE MAKES THINGS BRIGHTER; MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY IT YOURSELF.
BE BLESSED AND BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE ELSE!!
I WILL BE GOING PRIVATE WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE FOLLOWING MY JOURNEY, PLEASE LEAVE ME A COMMENT WITH YOUR E-MAIL OR YOU CAN E-MAIL ME.
