"No Time For Kicking"

The following poem by an unknown author, illustrates the necessity of doing our part in the Lord’s kingdom (Gal. 6:5). When everyone does their part without complaint, the Lord’s church will grow (Ephesians 4:11-16):

“A horse can’t pull while kicking.
This fact we merely mention.
And he can’t kick while pulling,
Which is our chief contention.

Let’s imitate the good old horse
And lead a life that’s fitting;
Just pull an honest load, and then
There’ll be no time for kicking.”
