Darkness surrounds

Searching for light

God’s vision breathes

Faith’s trusted Knight

 

Peace from God’s Word

Lighting new road

Vision forgives

Mercy’s love code

 

Conscience wakens

Beholding God

Renewed vision

No longer flawed

 

Prayer’s answers

Hearing God’s voice

Hope’s fresh vision

Truth’s blessed choice

 

Purest in heart

Tasting God’s grace

Joy’s vision found

Faith’s trusted place

Serenity Prayer (written by Reinhold Neibuhr)

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

From Philippians 4:6-7:  “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Reinhold Neibuhr (1892-1971) was an American theologian as well as a commentator on public affairs.  He was a professor at Union Theological Seminary for over 30 years.

Many adults feel that every children’s book has to teach them something.  My theory is a children’s book can be just for fun.

Sometimes to helps to scold yourself, to yourself advice.

Evening’s darkness deepens

Silence now awakens

Nature never rests

While daylight feels forsaken

 

Gentle spirit’s exhale

Dreams stand ready to climb

Day now forgotten

Headlines swallowed up in time

 

Starlight scatters its dust

World seemingly asleep

Patience to unfold

Caught up in submerging deep

 

Harmony’s dawn rises

New day set to embrace

Morning shares goodness

Propelled by bountiful grace
