Embrace Action
All talk and no action
Makes for a sad friend indeed.
A true friend steps up
To help in our time of need.
All talk and no action
Is a sorry commentary.
We’re not called to pontificate;
But what we do may vary.
Each situation’s unique
And calls for a different plan.
Jesus never hesitated –
Likewise, do what you can.
Last Sunday a dear friend
Fell in the parking lot at church.
Someone fortunately saw her,
So she wasn’t left in the lurch.
Friends jumped into action:
Her son was called. “Come today!”
Another brought her to the ER
And got a wheelchair right away.
Their example of action –
Stepping up when there’s a need –
Was exactly what Jesus did.
Remember the bread and fish feed?
Remember the blind man
Who said he wanted to see?
Jesus showed us how to act –
His examples sure impress me!
I want to be like Jesus.
I want to step up and be
The person you can count on
To act at each opportunity.
I’m grateful for the doctors
Who saw Bob’s need and acted.
Today they biopsied bone marrow.
Yesterday a PET scan was contracted.
All talk and no action
Allows health issues to grow.
Emotional issues likewise fester
When not addressed; don’tcha know?
Embrace action, my friends.
Jump in when you see a need.
Do it out of goodness –
Not monetary greed!
Thank you for embracing action, my friends.
Your prayers are faith in action.
You’re the best!
Tell me about the last time you saw a need and jumped in!
Could be as simple as what I did today. I was Bob’s chauffuess!!
(He’s usually MY chauffeur!)
