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.

Hello Pat, I am still working on my PS post. I have company and finding time to post something is a challenge.
I love this poem so much because the words just talk to us with inspiration to be a more caring and loving person towards others. This is a wonderful daily prayer. Thank you for sharing it for the 'Design gives Back' special day.
The flowers are stunning in that photo you shared from the Botanical Garden.

Thanks, Pat!
How lovely Pat. I'm going to commit to memory: For yesterday is over, and tomorrow's far away, and I remain committed, to the good I do today. It's important to live one day at a time.

What lovely and inspirational words of encouragement for this Miracle Makeover weekend of blessings. Thank you :)
Good morning Pat! I must tell you that knowing you have a blog that I have not visited for a while, is like knowing that I have some beautiful, new magazines on the coffee table, waiting to be opened. I only like to visit your blog when I have ample time to sit and soak it all in. You see, since I am not traveling much at this chapter of my life, visiting your blog gives me the amazing opportunity to travel, enjoy, and leisurely see it all. I appreciate that so very much! Today, I spent so much time reading back through many of your posts. I can't express to you, the joy I found in doing that. The New York Botanical Gardens, The Peggy Rockefeller Rose Gardens, The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens...it all was over the top beautiful!!! Visiting your blog is like having my own tour guide who just happens to be an accomplished photographer too. Thank you for blogging. It is a real privilege to visit here. I am sure many others would agree with me.
Such a beautiful post Pat. Those flowers are gorgeous, and I love your poem.
I'll keep commenting too, hoping that they reach their goal.
Karen
This was a lovely post! I put my Blue Monday post up but hope everyone visits the Miracle post I did too! I am always eager to help anyway that I can. That Charlie is one amazing kid! Caring for others while he is struggling with his own health! God Bless him! The poem is lovely as well and I am always happy reading poetry.
