May I pray this night while the stars are out
May I close my eyes and see the beauty of heaven
can I walk with the lord on holy ground
my heart is good and I am kind
dear jesus may you be mine

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey;
I asked for health, that I might do greater things;
I was given infirmity, that I might grow in understanding
And become a better human being through bringing forth from within
The Divine qualities of kindness and compassion with all life.

When everything seems to go wrong, just push
when the job gets you down, just push
when people don’t react the way you think they should, just push

I asked God for strength that I might achieve.
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.
I asked for health that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn’t looking saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.

Sometimes, God doesn’t give us the things we want
because He knows the things we truly desire,
desires that we may not even be aware of
because we do not truly know ourselves.

I had a dream that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, ‘This is the Receiving Section.
Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.’

I met God in the morning
When my day was at its best,
And his presence came like sunrise
Like a glory in my breast.

In Everything both great and small
We see the hand of God in all,
And in the miracles of Spring
When EVERYWHERE in EVERYTHING
His handiwork is all around
And every lovely light and sound
Proclaims the GOD of earth and sky
I ask myself ‘JUST WHO AM I?’

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
Let not your soul be sad
Easter is a time of joy
When all hearts should be glad.
