Hush
Hush now
And hear the world's prayer
Watch their eyes light up with joy
And their hearts fill with hope
Hush now
And listen to the angels sing
Listen to what they say
For you might just hear your name
Hush now
And watch the heavens glow
Envy the glorious sight
For you may one day rest there
Hush now
And hear the lord's word
Filled with happiness and love
To see his many grateful children
Hush now
And pray to the lord
Your words will forever be remembered
In his big heart
Hush now
And see the powerful church
Holding the people
That light up god's eyes
Hush now
And look around you
Do not doubt the power of god
For you are surrounded by him
I hope you liked this poem I wrote it, and felt it might inspire others. Thank you for reading!

Family Fun Night Food
There was plenty of taco meat left over from the Taco Supper, so we will go up and take it out of the freezer and have tacos this evening. If anyone wants to bring something to go along with that, it would be great!
Asking for Prayer
Our Son Chris needs your prayers. He stopped in last evening to ask us for prayer concerning his transportation. His truck engine went bad and he is without a vehicle to go back and forth to work. He borrowed his father-in-law's truck to get him by, but it is in bad shape and he even had to stop at our house to let it cool down before he could make it on home. His boss told him yesterday that if he didn't get reliable transportation for work, it could be grounds for dismissal! He was shocked to hear that. So, needless to say, he was upset and can't really afford to go out and buy a truck right now. I told him I would post his concern and ask his Church family to pray for him. I guess as a Dad, it concerns me for him and wish I could help him out. But all I can do is pray and trust in the Lord for his need. Thank you.

Prayer from "1913" book-"God's Minute"
Been reading in this book dated 1913-1923 called God's Minute-A Book of 365 Daily Prayers-Sixty Seconds Long for Home Worship. Listed are several names of contributors prayers and I ran across a William B. Stubbs from Savannah, Georgia
Prayer-
Ask and it shall be given you. Luke 11:9
Our Heavenly Father, accept our thanks for the re-creation of body and mind Thou hast given us in the hours of wonderful sleep.
Help us to be so attentive to the still small voice of our Teacher and Guide, the Holy Spirit, that whether we eat or drink, or whatever we do this day, all shall be done to Thy glory.
We desire that Thy Kingdom come and Thy will be done in our hearts, our home, our city, our country, and in all the earth. We so desire this, that here and now we offer Thee our bodies, our minds, our reputations, our characters, and our lives and ask Thee to use each and all as seems best to Thee.
So relate us and all we have to Thy work in the world, that we may count for most in Thy Kingdom. So teach and train us by Thy Word and daily providences that we shall trust Thee daily for our daily needs, and witness for Thee by being as peaceful and joyous in disappointment, adversity, or affiction, as in prosperity.
We ask it in the name of Jesus, our Saviour. Amen

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
I am so thankful for Paster Bob's lesson on Sunday. For some reason everyday this week the subject has come up in conversation or in my thoughts. Its so hard for me to wait and to let the Lord have his way. I am reading this book right now and below is a section that really stuck out to me and seem to align up to the message. I pray that daily I can be aware of this and have that reminder that to celebrate life and let God take care of the rest.
Often we allow ourselves to get all worked up about thins that, upon closer examination, aren't really that big a deal. We focus on little problems and concerns and blow them way out of proportion. A stranger, for example, might cut in front of us in traffic. Rather than let it go, and go on with our day, we convince ourselves that ware are justified in our anger. We play out an imaginary confrontation in our mind. Many of us migh even tell someone else about the incident later on rather than simply let it go. Why not instead simply allow the driver to have his accident somewhere else? Try to hve compassion for the person and remember how painful it is to be in such an enormous hurry. This way, we can maintain our own sense of well-being and avaoid taking other people's problems personally. There are many similar, "small stuff" examples that occur every day in our lives. Wheather we had to wait in line, listen to unfair criticism, or do the lions's share of the work, it pays enourmous dividends if we learn not to worry aobut little tings. So many people spend so much time of their life energy "sweating the small stuff" that they completely lose touch with the magic and beauty of life. When you commit to working toward this goal you will have far more energy to be kinder and gentler.
