Too often we don’t realize
What we have until it is gone
Too often we wait too late to say
“I’m sorry – I was wrong.”

May you know, in your heart,
that others are always thinking of you.
May you always have rainbows that follow the rain.

1. Don’t go for looks, it can deceive; Don’t go for
wealth – even that fades away. Go for someone who
makes you smile because only a smile makes a dark day
seem bright. Hope you find that person.

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

Lord, You know that I am growing older.

Keep me from becoming talkative and possessed
with the idea that I must express myself
on every subject.

Father, I ask you to bless my friend reading this right now! Lord, show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment.

May your heart always
find peace and comfort in the knowledge
that you are never alone.
May God’s presence ease your spirit
and give you rest when you need it.
He knows how you feel.

1. Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a “sweet duty.”

People need people and friends need friends,
And we all need love for a full life depends
Not on vast riches or great acclaim,
Not on success or on worldly fame,

Thank you, God for everything …
The big things and the small,
For “every good gift comes from God,”
The Giver of them all.
