Daily Prayer

Dear Lord --
I'm proud to say, so far today
I've got along all right;
I have not gossiped, whined or bragged,
Or had a single fight.

I haven't lost my temper once,
Or criticized my mate,
I have not lied, I have not cried,
Or loudly cursed my fate.

So far today I've not one time
Been grumpy or morose,
I've not been spiteful, cold or vain,
Self-centered or verbose.

But, Lord, I'm going to need Your help
Throughout the hours ahead,
So give me strength, Dear Lord, for now
I'm getting out of bed.

By John T. Baker

Don't know how I missed this one...it's great. I feel that way sometimes. God, I'm doin so good so far! I haven't done anything bad since I woke up...32 seconds ago! I found this in a book that I was reading:

If we were really HONEST with God when we sang to Him, this is what the title of some songs would really look like:

I Surrender Some
Oh How I Like Jesus
He's Quite a Bit To Me
Take My Life and Let Me Be
Just as I Pretend to Be


I thought this was cute too:

May those who love us, love us.
And those who don't love us,
May God turn thier hearts.
And if He doesn't turn thier hearts,
May He turn their ankles,
So we will know them by thier limping.

If forever's last poem were true, my biggest fear would be that all those around me would be on crutches.
