Monday Morning Offering will return next week!
Forgive us, Lord, when we allow
the snow to rule our lives
the snow to rule our lives
even when it measures not in inches
- but in feet...
Forgive us, Lord, for stocking up
on comfort food and alcohol
when all year 'round, without relief,
so many perish, hungry...
when all year 'round, without relief,
so many perish, hungry...
Forgive us, Lord, for griping
'bout the frost and wind and chill
when we have so much warmth to spare
and others - none at all...
when we have so much warmth to spare
and others - none at all...
Forgive us our obsessing
over troubles small and passing
when neighbors 'round the world
over troubles small and passing
when neighbors 'round the world
are struggling daily - to survive...
Forgive us our not knowing
names of countries torn by war,
where danger fear and terror
threaten life each night and day...
names of countries torn by war,
where danger fear and terror
threaten life each night and day...
Forgive us our anxiety
for football and the playoffs
when greater crises everywhere
deserve our keen attention...
for football and the playoffs
when greater crises everywhere
deserve our keen attention...
Give us some perspective, Lord,
to see how blessed we are:
how much we have to give away
and all we have to share...
Make us grateful and aware, Lord,
of all that we've been given:
all we have in great supply,
the bounty that is ours...
Make us generous, freely giving, Lord,
until we really we feel it,
'til we feel the want ourselves and know
'til we feel the want ourselves and know
at last - we've served you well...
Amen.
