I saw this today on a friends page and just had to share with everyone I know. Please read this, it really makes you think about how we are in the Kingdom Hall: Can We Spot the Lost Sheep? (Isa. 40:11) 1) She only comes on Sunday, and usually shes late, Is she baptized, or inactive? Thats the question for debate! Few brothers try to know her, some criticize and stare. But who will try to dig down deep, and see whos REALLY there? A funeral program is in her purse, its ragged round the ears Its yellow, torn and wrinkled ... its been soaked with many tears. Shes looked at it quite often - knows the resurrection hope But she mourns her precious daughter; sometimes she just cant cope. Many people wonder, but no one made a call Shes just one of the lost sheep sitting in your Kingdom Hall. 2) Her mates an unbeliever, and he just wants to fight, She knows what shes in for, when she goes home at night; Keeps to herself at meetings, tells no one out of fear, Shes scared and isolated, like a wounded baby deer. She trusts her God Jehovah, she knows hell help her cope, Eternal life in paradise: that is her precious hope. Have you reached out to know her? She really needs a call Yes, she, too, is Jehovahs sheep right in your Kingdom Hall. 3) She comes to all the meetings, shares in preaching with the friends, But once she goes back home each day, the heartache soon begins; She grew up in the truth, you see; been faithful all her life, But what she always dreamed of was to be a Christian wife. Now shes past the bloom of youth, her dreams have not come true, Shes tempted and frustrated; what can this sister do? You likely think shes firm and strong, that she doesnt need a call; But is she a lost sheep sitting there right in your Kingdom Hall? 4) He used to be an elder; his talks were strong and warm, He worked hard on the spirits fruits, hed never do you harm; He hasnt served for years now, since his children left the fold, He now feels old and useless, but his love has not grown cold. Through disuse hes lost much talent, for speaking from the heart, And sitting there unnoticed, he just feels worlds apart. He comments and he preaches, and smiles his Kingdom smile; Whod ever guess his loyal heart is breaking all the while? Youd never stop to wonder, if he would ever fall But like the rest, hes lost his way right in your Kingdom Hall. When working hard from door to door, and bringing more sheep in Please dont forget the sheep already in the pen; Yes, these are all true stories, of people at the Hall So please take time, look closely, and see who needs a call; We do remember sick ones, single parents, and the old, But can we endeavor to include still others in the fold? Remember that Jehovah doesnt want one sheep to fall But there may be more than one lost sheep There in YOUR Kingdom Hall.
