Today I Stood! (Author Unknown) Today I stood at my window and cursed the pouring rain, Today a desperate farmer prayed for his fields of grain. My weekend plans are ruined, it almost makes me cry While the farmer lifts his arms and blesses the clouded sky. The alarm went off on Monday and I cursed my work routine, Next door a laid off mechanic feels the empty pockets of his jeans. I cant wait for my vacation, some time to take for me, He doesnt know tonight how hell feed his family. I cursed my leaky roof and the grass I need to mow, A homeless man downtown checks for change in the telephone. I need a new car, mine is getting really old, He huddles in a doorway, seeking shelter from the cold. With blessings Im surrounded, the rain, a job, a home, Though my eyes are often blinded by the things I think I own. 1 Thes. 5:18: Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is Gods will for you in Christ Jesus. PRAYER: O holy God, we praise you for who you are and thank you for your blessings. May our lives be an expression of grattitude to you today. Amen.
