Yesterday I received a prayer list and it it inspired this bit to musing
Yesterday I received a prayer list
I printed two copies and left them on my desk
On copy for my wife, and one for me.
I left the copies on my desk
I saw a lady walking on the street
I thought; how sad her size impedes her way
I offered grace that she would see
Each step she takes a way to pray.
In the news a young black man
Is fighting the hate of three white thugs
I think of the prayer list on my desk
I think what will I do to change this mess
A friend with cancer returns to work
A sisters husband on his last breaths
I thank God for I am blessed
And still the prayer list on my desk
How often we say, it's in Gods hands
We use our prayer as last resort
Forgetting whose hands we're in
The list might be a better way to begin
