Brother Window, Sister Door

Dedicated to my cousin Pastor Johnathan Robinson
who recently moved into a building which he has converted into a church.
His ministry is called COME - Clairton Outreach Ministry & Evangelism.
God has blessed him to minister to all types of people - tattered, broken and in
need of repair.

Brother Window, Sister Door


There was a repair job I was assigned to do
I thought, Whoa, this is not work I know.
I'll need tools, and a contractor or two.
But the Boss just turned and walked off slow
I scratched my head and held my jaw
And thought well, He must have faith in me.
I picked up hammer, nails and saw
Not knowing what the end result would be
In this place were many windows
Some missing,broken, some just shattered
A few may have been stained glass -who knows
Covered by drapes filthy, torn and tattered
I noticed several types of doors
A few were unhinged against the wall
Some on one hinge, cracked, needing restored
I wondered if I could handle this all
On a table was a Bible just lying there
If I sit and read how will it all get done?
On a piece of paper read "Handle with Care
Open the manual, follow the instructions".

Okay Annette:

This is great! I love the idea of putting them on plates calling it Food For Thought and the poem is beautiful. Makes me think of my grandmothers house. I love it and I will check on those plates. Stay encouraged and continue this good work.
