A prayer....

 
Old Barn near Kallispell, MT

Oh God, give me grace for this day.
Not for a lifetime, nor for next week,
Nor for tomorrow, just for this day.
Direct my thoughts and bless them,
Direct my work and bless it.
Direct the things I say, and give them blessing too.
Direct everything that I think and speak and do,
So that for this one day, just this one day,
I have the gift of grace that comes
From your presence.
Amen

    Such lovely words! I know you know that I take barn photos, too. I just read a beautiful book titled The Language of Flowers : A Novel. You'd love it. Having fun here - pacing ourselves today. (big hug!)

    Beautiful verse Jody, thank you. I need to be reminded daily of this fact - makes me think of that beautiful chorus we sing -
    The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
    His mercies never come to an end
    They are new every morning
    New every morning
    Great is your faithfulness oh Lord.
    I think I will print off your verse to remind me to take everything one day at a time ;)
    Lovely picture of the barn; whenever I see barns here it reminds me of you.
