I am grateful for today I am grateful for yesterday I am hopeful for tomorrow God is the first and last and in-between I start in His name And end with His praise I create with His permission And am mindful of His bounds I rely on His support I believe in His abundance I know He will take care of my needs I have seen His hand in the events of my life The times He has carried me through it And those when He has let me stumble along on my own two feet Because I needed to learn for myself I am thankful for the difficulty I am thankful for the ease I am blessed to have the family, the friends, the home He has given me I am blessed to have the abilities and faculties with which He has elevated me I am sorry for the ways in which I have misused what He has gifted me I strive to do better I strive for His pleasure I strive for His approval For His approval is the only thing that matters in the end And it is Him I love above all else

Peace
In the late hours of the night – Or is that the early hours of the morning? – When the tech buzz is silenced And the neighbourhood sleeps And the cars take rest with the people That is when peace descends And I am closest to my Lord
Angels
No wonder I felt so alone I forgot about you Forgot the words that call you Strengthen your presence By my side I chose shadowed paths Went places you won’t Depriving myself of your light Gave time to your enemy Listened to its whisperings Trusted its hollow words I hope you forgive me Take pity on my soul Scrape me off the ground Envelop me with your grace Accompany and protect me Safe under your wings Deflect hindrance and harm I hope you keep me In your prayers And I keep your right pen Busier than your left And you speak well of me To the All-Hearing And I hope I don’t re-forget But knowing I am prone To stray and to stumble I hope you stay close always Ready to catch my fall

Surrender yourself And enter His forgiving embrace, Where you will find The purest love there is to discover.
