In my journal I write each day Telling my Lord my thoughts as I pray Praying for family and friends too May they never be sad or blue Asking for health for all I've met Keeping them well, and out of debt Granting that we each have food to eat A place to live with clothing and heat Peaceful times bring happiness and love We ask many things from Our Lord above Kindness and charity within our heart We should all take time to do our part Volunteer and help someone to learn to read Many groups offer what people need Missions help many who need to eat and sleep They say their prayers that their souls God will keep Not fortune or fame will gain entrance to heaven Rather what's in your heart, and what you've given Share with someone today a part of yourself Our Lord will be there when you need help. © 2005 Joyce Ann Geyer PoetNMySoul Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven. Matthew 5:12
