Simple Pleasures


The wonder of God's creation
Surrounds us every day
But seldom do we enjoy it
As we hurry on our way
Puffy white clouds
In a blue summer sky
A tiny little ant
That's stronger than you or I
A herd of grazing cows
In a field of emerald green
There is so much beauty
Just waiting to be seen
The laughter of a child
The singing of a bird
There is so much joy
Just waiting to be heard
The feel of a breeze
On a hot summer's day
The smell from a field
Of freshly mown hay
The taste of a peach
Picked ripe from the tree
All these things are out there
And all of them are free
The Lord in all his glory
Provides so much good
For us to enjoy if only we would

A Prayer for Today


Be with us O'Lord
As we go through each day
Guide and protect us
Each step of the way
Grant us the strength
To do all we can do
And the wisdom to know
When to turn it back to you
Keep us ever mindful Lord
Of what we do and say
We never know who's watching
that we might lead astray
Though the road is not always easy
The path not always clear
Of one thing we can be certain
You are always near
When all the world seems dark
And nothing turns out right
If we put our trust in You
We can always find the light
