Something forwarded to me by Joan Norem, a schoolmate from the grade behind me. You may have seen it before as a pass-along email. Hers to me was complete with cute graphics. With or without, the message is just the same:
 
Monday Wash Day 
Lord, help me wash away all my selfishness and
Vanity, so I may serve you with perfect humility
Through the week ahead.

Tuesday  Ironing Day  
Dear Lord, help me iron out all the wrinkles
Of prejudice I have collected through the years
So that I may see the beauty in others.
Wednesday Mending Day  
O God, help me mend my ways so I will not
Set a bad example for others.

Thursday Cleaning Day
Lord Jesus, help me to dust out all the many faults
I have been hiding in the secret corners of my heart.
Friday Shopping Day
O God, give me the grace to shop wisely so I may purchase
eternal happiness for myself and all others
In need of love.

Saturday Cooking Day

Help me, my Savior, to brew a big kettle of brotherly
Love and serve it with clean, sweet bread of human kindness.
Sunday  The Lord's Day    
O God, I have prepared my house for you. Please
Come into my heart so I may spend the day and the
Rest of my life in your presence.

And I received this note yesterday from Al Bennett, whose daughter Susan works at a Cedar Rapids junior high school:
Susan's comment to Al, "Every morning the principal gets on the intercom with notes and updates. He ends with, 'Have a great day......or not. The choice is up to you!"
