Lord, I thank You - praise You this day, <br /> Asking You to lead us in Your Way. <br /> <br /> Help us to receive it as a special gift. <br /> May we use it to encourage us to lift. <br /> <br /> Every person we chance to see or meet- <br /> On country road and every city street. <br /> <br /> Challenge us to be helpful and kind- <br /> Offer cheerful greeting in heart and mind. Grant sensitivity to every ill and need- <br /> Not in mere words only, but also in deed <br /> <br /> To Senior citizens, handicapped, each child, <br /> Every race and color, may they be reconciled. <br /> <br /> When this day ends and You lay it to rest, <br /> Today and tomorrow help us to be our best.<br /><br />James E.
