“Sing Ho! for the life of a Bear!
Sing Ho! for the life of a Bear!
I don’t much mind if it rains or snows,
‘Cos I’ve got a lot of honey on my nice new nose!
I don’t much care if it snows or thaws,
‘Cos I’ve got a lot of honey on my nice clean paws!
Sing Ho! for a Bear!
Sing Ho! for a Pooh!”
Winnie-the-Pooh chap 8
Winnie the Pooh was a great work of A. A. Milne and I imagine the author had a warm grin across his face as he created him.
I wonder if Milne created Pooh to pass on that grin to his readers, to bring warm cheer into the world, ’cause that’s just what he’s done. (Plus made a fortune for Disney, but that’s another story. 🙂 )
You’re a great work of God’s, too, Christian. His poem. That’s what the word “workmanship” means in the verse below ~ poem…
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works..” Ephesians 2:10
light and cheer, that’s what we’re created for in Christ Jesus…
“You are the light of the world.” Matthew 5:14
“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
And, do you know, God made the same comforting promise to us that Winnie the Pooh made to Christopher Robin ~~
“If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together keep me in you heart, I’ll stay there forever.” (see John 14:16-17) Christ in our hearts ~~“…Christ in you, the hope of glory…” Colossians 27 Is your heart empty?
