Tea-Time With Coxie-Fuller Welcomes you to Thankful Wednesday!
I'd Rather See a Sermon by Edgar Guest (1881-1959)
I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day. I 'd rather one would
walk with me than merely tell the way.
The eye's a better pupil, and more willing than the ear. Fine council
is confusing, but example's always clear.
The best of all the preachers are men who live their creed.
For to see good put in action, is what everyone needs.
I can soon learn how to do it, if you let me see it done.
I can catch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run.
And the lecture you deliver may be very wiser and true.
But I'd rather get my lesson by observing what you do. For I may
misunderstand you in the high advice you give. But there is no
misunderstanding how you act and how you live.
When I see an act of kindness, I am eager to be kind
When a weaker brother stumbles, and a stronger stays behind.
Just to see if I can help him, then the wish grows in me
To be as big and thoughtful as I know that friend to be.
And all travelers can witness that the best of guides today
Is not the one that tells them, but the one that shows the way.
HAPPY THANKFUL WEDNESDAY & AS ALWAYS KINGDOM
BLESSINGS BE UNTO YOU!
