Sometimes I am amazed at God's goodness. . . Sometimes I forget to even notice His overwhelming goodness. . . I wonder why. . . Is it the busyness around me or even within? Is it the different things that I put as a priority in my life? Although I love all the things that make me busy. . . . it is definitely good to be able to rest at times.

LORD. . . . .
Help me not miss the beauty of Your creation.
Help me not miss the small things in people's lives.
Help me not miss the things You have called me to do.
Help me not miss the promises You have given.
Help me not miss the simeple things of love that You do.
Help me not miss the gifts that You have given.
Help me not miss the beauty You have put in each person.
Help me not miss the rest that You give.
Help me not miss the peace You try to give - and I don't receive.
Help me not miss the strength You give to meet my needs.
Help me not miss Your greatness, beauty, mercy, grace. . . .

I need Your grace.
I desire Your mercy.
I love Your character.
I hope in Your promises.
I long for Your love.
I hunger for Your word.

I need Your strength.
I desire You.
I love Your goodness.
I hope in Your beauty.
I long for Your guidance.
I hunger for Your Spirit.

Thank You my God and my Lord, the all in all in my life. Thank You for what You give to me every second of every day. For this I thank You and I love You. Your are more precious than words can ever try to explain. . . . . .
