>>>Behind the Weeds
>>>Just two little boys walking down a dusty lane.....
>>>They came upon this old white house...
>>>with broken window panes.
>>>The paint was faded, the shine was gone...
>>>the grass had grown so high.....
>>>still they made their little feet go see what was inside.
>>>They opened up the squeaky door and then it came to light....
>>>This must have been an old church house...
>>>once upon a time.
>>>Dirty, dusty wooden pews...
>>>a pulpit that still stood...
>>>A bible laid upon it....
>>>though the pages weren't too good.
>>>An offering plate and song books too...
>>>were lying on the floor.
>>>They must have left this old church fast...
>>>the day they closed these doors.
>>>And over in the corner...
>>>a piano was still there.
>>>it must have played a pretty tune...
>>>but I guess nobody cared.
>>>So little Bill looked up at Tommy...
>>>and Tommy looked at Bill...
>>>Why don't we clean this old church up,
>>>and get these old pews filled?"
>>>They took a rag and wiped the dust...
>>>to try and make things shine...
>>>And then they took the offering plate...
>>>and put in it their last dime.
>>>They took a broom and swept the floor...
>>>and picked up broken glass....
>>>They got it all so nice and neat...
>>>and then they mowed the grass.
>>>They lifted up the old church sign...
>>>and stood it by a tree...
>>>right down by that old dirt road
>>>where everyone could see.
>>>They ran back home, to find Daddy gone but their Momma was inside...
>>>Just to find her hurt again...
>>>where Daddy had made her cry.
>>>"Don't cry Momma, wipe those tears,"
>>>Little Bill and Tommy smiled...
>>>"Cause we have a big surprise for you....
>>>just down the road a mile."
>>>Hand in hand they tugged at her.
>>>until they made her run....
>>>"What is it Bill, Oh Tommy,
>>>just what have you two kids done?"
>>>And then they came upon the house...
>>>once hidden by the weeds...
>>>and there it stood a country church...
>>>just like it used to be.
>>>"But what is it, Mother? What's with your tears?
>>>We thought this would bring you joy."
>>>"Yes, but hush kids now and listen close...
>>>my two sweet precious boys."
>>>They both got quiet and stood real still...
>>>for the words they heard so true....
>>>was Daddy praying in the church...
>>>with his head bowed on the pew.
>>>"Forgive me Lord! Forgive me Lord!
>>>though I'm not worthy of Your love...
>>>shine down on this sinner man..
>>>sweet Salvation from above."
>>>"For I've been out in the world, You know...
>>>living my life all wrong...
>>>until I came upon this church;
>>>the place where I belong."
>>>"I never noticed it before...
>>>all those times I passed it up...
>>>I guess I wasn't looking, Lord...
>>>or maybe I was drunk."
>>>"Bless oh Lord, yes, bless oh Lord...
>>>the one who made me see...
>>>this little church that used to hide...
>>>behind all those tall weeds."
>>>And then he raised his head and stood...
>>>with his hands high in the air...
>>>to find two dirty, tear-faced boys...
>>>with Momma standing there.
>>>They ran up to him, hugged him tight...
>>>as their tears fell on the floor.
>>>"Don't worry kids, I'm not the Dad,
>>>the one you've known before."
>>>Things are different for us now...
>>>so keep on those pretty smiles...
>>>and let's go gather people in...
>>>to walk down these church aisles."
>>>Then Bill looked up at Tommy...
>>>and Tommy looked at Bill...
>>>"Come on brother, let's get to work...
>>>to get these old pews filled."
>>>"For we need no special blessing...
>>>for cleaning up this church...
>>>'cause, God gave us back our Daddy...
>>>and that's more than gold is worth."
>>>Sunday morning, pews all filled and smiles on every face...
>>>Especially two little country boys...
>>>the ones who found this place.
>>>Though it was hid back in the weeds...
>>>and so far out of sight...
>>>Nothing's ever hard to find if you're walking toward God's light.
>>>1 John 1:7 we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship
>>>with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His son cleanses us from
>>>all
>>>sin."
>>>Won't you please share this with people you want to be blessed.
>>>Expect the unexpected...Have A Happy Day
