Coffee in the Morning by George Mendoza
Audio for today's Monday Morning Offering
Good morning, good God!
Monday it is, Lord,
and I have many things to offer you this morning...
I offer you thanks for the times last week
when you helped me up when I was down,
breathed in me a second wind
and gave me hope when mine ran out:
Lord, walk with me again today
and through the week ahead...
I offer you thanks for the times last week
when you helped me see where I went wrong,
pointed me in the right direction
and gave me a kick in the butt:
Lord, help, point and kick me again today
and through the week ahead...
I offer you thanks for the times last week
when you called me to be with you,
waited calmly while I blew you off
but listened patiently when at last I prayed:
call me to your side and hear me, Lord,
today and through the week ahead...
I offer you thanks for the times last week
when I accepted help that came my way,
when I reached out to my neighbor's need
and when compassion shaped my words and deeds:
Lord, open my heart even wider today
and through the week ahead...
I offer you thanks for the times last week
when I was at peace with you
and with those around me
and with myself:
Lord, help me find such peace again today
and through the week ahead...
