LIFE SHAPING PRAYER
LORD…GRANT ME THE HUMILITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE
GRANT ME THE AMBITION TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER THE THINGS THAT
I CAN CHANGE
GIVE ME THE SPIRIT-DRIVEN WISDOM …..TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
“THE FEAR OF GOD…. IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM”

THERE IS NO CURE FOR THIS HIGHLY COMPLEX DISEASE!
WILL WE CONSTRUCT ANOTHER “BAILOUT” WHEN THE INSURING HEALTH MAGNATES YELL, “SOMEBODY HELP US, HELP US PLEASES…!

WHO KNOWS THE MAN IN THE BOX
The smell of lilac and fresh flowers shrouded inside an organ music background
Low murmuring conversations and sad solemn faces all around
To pay our respects and show that we cared
Relatives, friends, and acquaintances all go marching by the Box, to take a quick stare
Austere, a “loner”, “slightly off”, or other aptly applied phrases
He lived his whole life in many personally selected stages
But, who really knows this Man in the Box?
He dabbled at business, He regularly played church
But what was his true nature? What attitudes, inclinations, or proclivities were last or first?
Friendly, and Giving, to a fault
Never settling….what he wanted, he bought!
A wizard with few resources, and always ready to advise
How he lived on “social insecurity” and a gas-bill pension, suggests that he was truly money-wise
But, again….who really knows this Man in the …show more content…
Yes, as our mentor once said, “I’ve learned to live in plenty, and I’ve learned to live with nought
Think, where all the “stuff” finally winds up that you bought!
Like you, all that we see returns to the dust
That whimsical vapor call “Life” where is the Essence of us?
The opinion of Solomon is that “All is Vanity” as we search out our Place
Both the Good Folk and the Bad Folk wind up in the same place
Emerson asserts that we must make our lives “Sublime”
And, leave some footprint on the “Sands of Time”
But one Truism shines through our personal philosophy and will
The vernacular often sites, “Time wounds all heels”
So, play fair and keep your integrity in tact
Search out religion and know you only get once to run around Life’s Track
Is the Legacy reflected in the Lives you’ve influenced and Their accepted choices to avoid inner shame
As succeeding generations elect your life choices though they don’t even remember your name
