SunShine :)

When the sun comes up every morning

We’re reminded that everything is new again

We’re reminded that the darkness of yesterday is gone away

We’re reminded that we’ve been given a second chance

We’re reminded that someone somewhere has smiled on us again

So what do we do with all these reminders?

We let the hurtful past remain where it should be

We look up to the sun and absorb its energy

We spread this energy to everyone everywhere and everything

When we’ve fallen, we dust ourselves up and try again

Cus that’s what the sun is there for

To remind us of Hope

There are days that we may not be happy to see the sun come up

Days that we would prefer to remain in darkness

Days that we think we do not deserve to see the sun.

When we wake up to one of those mornings

We should just remember that,

“The sun doesn’t shine forever

So please smile, when it shines whenever”

Dreams

I had a dream that I was born into a perfect world

Where the sun was beautiful as well as the moon

I had a dream that everything was given

Where there was no use for the word “ask”

I had a dream that to love and be loved was easy

Where there was no price placed on loving and being loved

I had a dream that the heart was made of steel

Where nothing could destroy it but rust and corrosion with time

I had a dream that no one could afford sadness

Where laughter was really the medicine for the soul

I had a dream that alone did not exist

Where I had someone to grow old with and young ones to watch grow

I had a dream that I died in peace

Where I was content with my life and how I lived it

I had a dream that dreams were real

Where everything I dreamed came to be.

My Prayer

It’s easy to say, “Jesus take the wheel”

But it’s kinda scary not to try to take control

When it seems like you’re headed for a ditch.

It is said that You will never give us a burden that we cannot carry

But how do you determine what we can and cannot carry?

I guess you know us more than we know ourselves.

I know that it is your will that your children will experience peace,

So if there’s no peace in my heart

Is it because I’m refusing to accept your peace?

I had it all wrong the first time

So I guess I’ll give this another shot

·      I acknowledge all that you are and stand for

·      Teach me to remove my sight from worldly possessions

·      Teach me to walk in your ways

·      Teach me to love me, so I can know how much is left to give to others

·      Teach me to have a forgiving heart

·      Teach me to be patient with life

·      Teach me to want to know you more

·      Teach me to see the good in the bad

·      Teach me to be sufficient in the friend I have in you

·      Teach me to have faith that all these requests will be met

Please don’t leave me to do this on my own because all this is beyond what I can.

Your willing servant
