Today’s world offers endless “toys”
For men and women, girls and boys.
The smart phones, toys and games with screens
Have interrupted known “routines”.
Conversation has been lost.
Relationships have suffered cost.
This may need some careful thought,
For cherished friendships can’t be bought.
We don’t take time to think or dream.
We’re caught up in this strange new “stream”...
A constant call of “busyness”
To which we should not acquiesce.
God’s beauty often is not seen
When we’re looking at a screen.
Creativity is dulled
When new ideas could be mulled.
Let us not forget the day
When we took time to read or pray,
To sit and talk with those we love
And share our blessings from above.
“...Ever be filled and stimulated with the Holy Spirit. Speak out to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, offering praise with voices (and instruments) and making melody with all your heart to the Lord.”
Ephesians 5:18-19 Amplified Bible
