Thank You, on one knee I fall before you, first thing. Otherwise, why get up? The world has turned to mush. Upside down cake that burned. Too long in the oven. Frogs, warmed up in a pot…slowly. Now… I fall before You. Prayers for my family, my friends, and those I care about. More… for those that I do not. They are lost…surely. The murderer on the cross, was spared. The other went to hell. The road is wide and narrow. Help me keep my feet upon it, (at all) Now… I fall before you. Lift me up, and tell me “You” are with me. I am small, you are tall. I will have no spirit of fear, as you never gave me… one. Now… I fall before you. Please give me strength to stand. Amen.

Good morning kind lady. Butterflies for your garden, hummingbirds to cheer your flowers... and make them smile... Ann

Amen. He lifts us up without us knowing that he is doing it. Like the Foot Prints in the Sand. Enjoyed reading your verse.. Oh, I am not much of a cook so almost everything I attempt burns and thrown out. :)
