I’m reminded, these days, Lord,
of all the good people, the really fine people
who've been and who are
such a part of my life!
Generous people who selflessly give- and give and giveand then give some more...Those who are kind,so genuinely kind:no pretense, self-interest or guile...Folks who forgive, Lord,quietly, quickly,whose pardon is healing,deep in my soul...And the ones who are holy
- and don’t even know it -whose holiness modelsyour grace and your peace...Folks who are gentlein word and deed,never rough or harsh,neither careless nor coarse...Those who are strongand are there for supportwhen I'm weak, when I'm sad,when I'm down...The ones who are trueto conviction and conscience,whose zeal never flagswhose faith never fades…Friends who are honestin all that they say,whose gift is the unadornedsimple truth...Folks of compassion,with patience unending,who listen with loveand dry my tears...People of prayerwho share their faith,
whose friendship is healingand grace peace for my soul...Good people, Lord,
so many good peoplewhose paths have crossed mineand become part of my life...People, Lord,more generous and kind,more forgiving and holy,more deeply convicted, faithful and true,more honest, compassionate,helpful and loyal,more thoughtful and prayerful,stronger and gentler,and purer by farthan I…I'm grateful, Lord,for the gift of these friendsand pray I learn from their loving waysto be such a friend in return...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
