“The Blackboard of My Heart” by Hank Thompson was written and sung in 1956. The first stanza goes like this:
When I was young and went to school
They taught me how to write
To take the chalk and make a mark
And hope it turns out right
Well, the song goes downhill from there because the love experienced in life didn’t turn out right. How many broken hearts have littered the road of life in the last 6,000 years? I’ve observed that the fire of today can be the ashes of tomorrow.
I like the way I turned that phrase. Just saying.
Back to reality. Do you want something to turn out right? Then turn to God. He doesn’t make up sad songs.
If you know that He is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.
Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!
Give it some thought.
