ANOTHER DAY
~Grace E Easley
~Grace E Easley
Lord thank You for another day,
Within this life of mine
Give me the strength to live it well,
Whatever I may find
Within this life of mine
Give me the strength to live it well,
Whatever I may find
Bestow from Your abundance,
Whatever I may lack
To use the hours wisely,
For I cannot have them back
Whatever I may lack
To use the hours wisely,
For I cannot have them back
Lord thank you for another day,
In which to make amends
For little slights or petty words,
Inflicted on my friends
In which to make amends
For little slights or petty words,
Inflicted on my friends
For sometimes losing patience,
With problems that I find,
For seeing faults in other lives,
But not the ones in mine
With problems that I find,
For seeing faults in other lives,
But not the ones in mine
Lord thank You for another chance,
In which to try to be
A little more deserving
Of the gifts You've given me
In which to try to be
A little more deserving
Of the gifts You've given me
For yesterday is over,
And tomorrow's far away,
And I remain committed,
To the good I do today !
And tomorrow's far away,
And I remain committed,
To the good I do today !
The poem/prayer listed above was printed once in my church bulletin a few years ago and hit a chord with me. I cut it out and post in on my refrigerator so that I could recite it every day as part of my morning meditation. Expressing gratitude for my blessings and asking for wisdom to live each day well and and to show kindness is something I hope to do more of each and every day.
