Today is Wednesday, February 8th, 2006; Karen's Korner #733

I am sharing a pass-along email from Lavonne Isenberger. Lavonne is currently living in senior housing in Clarion and typed that she prays this prayer every day and that it helps keep her thoughts on the positive side of life. And I might add to the prayer, "...and, God, this is what I want to do. I am going to need your help to get it done .....":

 

A PRAYER FOR A GOOD DAY

Dear Lord,

Just for today I will be happy,
I am going to need your help.
I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me.
I will replace them with happy thoughts.

Just for today I will make a big effort
to  be agreeable.
I will be cheerful, Lord, I will not be crabby.
I will lift my face in a smile instead of a frown

I will remember fondly the warmth
of hugging another.
I will hug someone today.
I will even hug my dog or my cat.

Today, Lord, I will do something good
for someone else.
I will not count the cost.
I will not ask the price.

Dear Lord, thanks for listening to my grand plans.
Above all, just give me a smile,
And a helping hand to get through my day.

Amen.
