Breakfast with friends ~~ Warm Heart Wednesday No. 011
My heart warms when I think of eating with friends at church.
These pictures and the poem below were from and about our churches' "Great Big Breakfast".
Southern Cattle Grazing
They nibble, take a bite here and again
Going down by the slough, green and grassy
They'll stop, something substantial for the cud
Southern cows, babies in tow, males clumped
Happier today, fresh pasture beckons
Carry their plate, it would be very full
Mention food and they'll come from miles and miles
Southern Baptist cattle, they like to eat
Bibles are on chairs saving their places
Younger ones, a few older, have iPads
Dollar for the plate, quarters for kids
Preacher gets paid, tells their sins, Bible says
Another bite, piece of cake, coffee calls
They've grazed enough, tummies full, chew their cud
Listen to the preacher, God hating sin
Sing songs, praise the Lord, Jesus in their hearts
Do we think all cows will go to Heaven?
They nibble, take a bite here and again
Going down by the slough, green and grassy

Mention food and they'll come from miles and miles
Southern Baptist cattle, they like to eat

- Yesterday I linked this poem and some pictures with Kerry O'Conner at the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads, The Tuesday Platform, which on Tuesdays is an open forum.
- The pictures were taken 1-24-2016 at the Second Baptist Church, Houston, FM 1463 Campus (link) where we had our annual "Great Big Breakfast." Turnout was great, we had 20 eight-foot tables of food.
- I hope I'm not being sacrilegious here. Actually I do believe that all animals, God's creatures, will go to Heaven, they are eagerly waiting (Romans 8:18-25 [click here]).

I enjoyed your poem! Looks like it was a little chilly outside where they were cooking. It looks like everyone was having a good time. No wonder if warmed your heart. I know all my cats and dogs have gone to heaven!
Very, very cool poem, Jim!
Pancakes always warm my heart.
And that fellowship warms it even more!
Thanks for linking for week 11.
