Today I Pray that . . . My hands be nimble, soft and productive My body stands tall and strong, My mind stays focused on only good My heart stays willing and open to all, My lips and tongue Speak with grace and love.

Lord, been a long time down here on my knees, cleaning up mess after mess, made by people been blessed so much more, but someways just couldn’t care less. Still, I’m healthy, Lord, fed, and my family is fine; as blessings go, I’m happy for these. I’ll handle whatever mess comes my way, but I’m praying, Lord, down here on my knees.
