This is top level in my book. You need to publish your writings so more can enjoy and learn from them.Grandma I’m Bored
“Grandma, I’m bored”, said the modern day child;
Whose parents preferred him not to run wild.
“There’s nothing on tele, my computer is bust,
And I only read when Miss says I must.
I could play on my Wii but I’ve done all those games
And the kids I am texting keep calling me names.
I need something to do.” Is the young school boy’s cry
As another wet holiday Monday goes by.
“Son, I’m amazed,” said the modern day gran
As she stood by the cooker opening a can.
“We didn’t have tele but found plenty to do;
From morning to night the days simply flew.
As we played whip and top, two balls and tag;
And hopscotch and marbles, which we kept in a bag.
I know what we’ll do.” is the grandma’s reply
As another wet afternoon passes by.
“Son, I’ve a plan,” said this wonderful gran,
As she stood in the kitchen washing her pan.
“We’ll turn off the tele, then I know what we’ll do;
We’ll root out the scrapbook and scissors and glue.
And you can have fun while I make us some drinks,
Then we’ll play scrabble and tiddly-winks.”
“Oh, I love coming here!” is the boy’s parting cry,
As a totally fun-packed wet day passes by.

Today's generation needs to realize the richness of Scripture and prayer life; because young ppl would not be bored if they did.Grandma I’m Bored

They also need to realise that there are other forms of pass times other than hand held screens. My grandkids weren't allowed screens when they came to stay apart from when cuddled up on the sofa with me after tea when they were in their pyjamas. But they loved coming and the games we played and the scrapbook and cutting out.Today's generation needs to realize the richness of Scripture and prayer life; because young ppl would not be bored if they did.
There is so much trash on TV and the internet screens.They also need to realise that there are other forms of pass times other than hand held screens.

As Tennyson said about 19th century politicians, it's '....lies and lies and lies and lies...'.Contingent Grace (To the tune of Amazing Grace).
contingent grace how sweet the sound
that saves by works foreseen
I once was lost but came around
was blind but chose to see
'twas grace that looked ahead in time
and saw that I would be
never bound by sin and such
but with a will that's free
