Blessings And Gratitude

Ask God to open your eyes to all the blessings He has bestowed on you, and to give you a fresh spirit of gratitude - not just at this season of the year, but always.  (Billy Graham, Hope For Each Day, 22 November) 30 November 2011

Growing Older

Lord, Thou knowest better than I know that I am growing older.

Keep me from getting too talkative and thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion.

Release me from craving to straighten out everybody's affairs.

Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally it is possible that I may be mistaken.

Make me thoughtful, but not moody; helpful, but not bossy;

Thou knowest, Lord, that what I want is a few friends at the end.
