VACATION PACKING

Spring is here.
Summer is almost here.
Vacations are just around the corner,
Approaching quickly and growing near.

And so often we plan our trips,
Make itineraries or reservations,
Get State Department travel tips,
Submit passport applications,
And sometimes let our spiritual side slip.

And often you may take along
New clothes and excitement,
And forget what really belongs;
Forgetting to pack your Christ commitment;
Forgetting to keep your faith and righteousness strong.

So before you depart on a summer getaway,
Pack your Lord in your heart keeping him close,
Pack your bible for a daily reading, a scripture dose,
Since you probably won't make it to church while you are away.

Also before you leave on vacation this year,
Plan it with the Lord's honor and glory in mind.
Make sure your character and language is kind;
Remember to keep the Lord spiritually near.
