Take Time to Pray

A few moments in the morning

Will put a blessing on your day

And you will find Him helping

Your problems on the way.

Don't ever be too busy

To talk to Him a while

And you will find you're facing

Each problem with a smile.

Don't let the cares of this world

Steal your joy from you

By keeping you too busy

To see what prayer can do.

Some moments in the morning

Before the start of day,

A special time at noon

Before you're on your way,

And at the close of day

Thank Him for everything

That for you He's provided -

A peace to you He'll bring.

Let nothing interfere

With moments spent with God;

You'll find your life goes better

With joy as your reward.

-- Helen Gleason

This is sooo true! I missed TWO classes this morning because I overslept...and you know why?? Because last night I was too "busy" with homework and by the time it was bed time I decided to put my devotions off til this morning. Yeah that didn't happen so it was an all around crummy morning! It is easy to see how quickly little things can pull us away. It may not be easy to be diligent, but God will bless you greatly if you wake up with Him, go to sleep with Him, and just have Him clear through your day! And I just have to say...I tried to make that poem creative looking and then I got bored...so that is why it looks stupid. OH and tonight Brooke had a very good comment that I must share! It doesn't happen that often so when it does; we have to tell everyone! We were playing Phase 10 and Jon told Dona that he would get Dona back. She responded with, "Vengence is mine saith the Lord." Then you hear this little peep of a squeak from Brooke, "But you're not the Lord!" Laughter was the response and then we shot her.
