Putting Talents into Practice

Ephesians 4:1-6

Live a life worthily spent for your talents,
Of humbleness, meekness and persistence;
Endure and be patient of another with love,
Strive to keep unity from the Spirit above;
In hope, there is one body and one Spirit,
One Lord, and one Kingdom for to inherit;
With faith in one God our Father entirely,
That is above all and through all eternally.
You have a daily routine with getting up,
Breakfast with coffee that very first cup;
Into the bathroom to use the toothbrush,
Then into the car for the morning rush;
In the office at your desk you sit down,
You think of your life wearing a frown;
It is far from the fact about your pay,
Especially when it is 6 figures today;
It is really more like just being bored,
But maybe for not thinking of the Lord;
And thanking Him for your blessed skills,
Making it possible to pay all of the bills.
