THE DIFFERENCE

 

I got up early one morning

And rushed right into the day;

I had so much to accomplish

That I didn’t have time to pray,

Problems just tumbled about me,

And heavier came each task;

“Why doesn’t God help me?â€

I wondered.

 

He answered, “You didn’t askâ€

I wanted to see you and beauty,

But the day toiled on gray and bleak,

I wondered why God didn’t show me,

He said, “But you didn’t seekâ€.

 

I tried to come into God’s presence,

I used all my keys in the lock,

God gently and lovingly chided,

“My child, you didn’t knock.â€

 

I woke up early this morning

And paused before entering the day;

I had so much to accomplish,

That I had to make time to pray.

 

For all that God, in mercy, sends;

For health and children, home and friends;

For comfort in the time of need,

For every kindly word and deed,

For happy thoughts and holy talk,

For Guidance in our daily walk †"

For everything GIVE THANKS!
