May I - 2011

Thankful, Lord. Let this me be. 
Open my heart and allow me to see all of the Heaven you have manufactured in me. 
May I always remember your trek toward Calvary.
How you, in your final moments before Hell, thought of me. 
May I never lose my unquenchable love for your Holy Word.
Grant me the wisdom to never make a choice so blatantly absurd.  
May my arms stretch out toward you as I lift my heart with my hands
Thinking of my Dad in heaven that now, with the confidence of a lion, in the throne-room of God he stands.  
May I never forget how you removed the sting of death 
And in a time of tragedy, I was inhaling heaven with every single breath. 
Thankful, Lord. Let this me be as I examine all of my things.
Allow praises to escape these lips as I consider your provision. Of thankfulness my heart sings! 
May my gratefulness ever increase as I watch Roger from cancer be healed.
Allow me to have rightness of heart to know your touch is a covenant promise sealed. 
May I never take for granted the singing of my sister and my nephews.
May it be a sign from Heaven. God is in the details whispering, "I love yous."
May it always be a joy to serve you, Heavenly Father.
Remind me of how your Son served and remind me that I'm your daughter. 
May I never lose my desire to make my parents proud. 
Even when I'm ninety help me remember they are witnesses in that cloud. 
Keep that crooked smile developing on my face
Every time my dogs are incredibly annoying trying simply to get within my embrace. 
May I always hold with love and honor my Pastors and my church.
May I be ever grateful that I am not abandoned and on the search.  
Help me remember, Lord, how blessed I am to have friends that are sold to you.
Ever thankful. Ever so thankful to hold in my heart friendships so true. 
Let me always have that inner joy when I reflect on my cousins and my brother.
How they taught me to be tough and strong never fearing the strength of another. 
May I never forget the child you healed when she was only three.
That child dying with spinal meningitis. May I never forget the story of me! 
Remind me, Oh God, of the precious, Holy blood.
That in our most undeserved moments, it rushes over us like a flood. 
May I never forget what a privilege it is to minister to children.
Remind me everyday that I am in a position to teach, shape, mold, and heal them.May I never lose my zeal to love You.
Remind me always that there is none above You.
Thankful, Lord. Let this me be. 
Thankful ultimately unto the King.
And may that thankfulness reflect in all I say and do.
May my thankfulness bring a beautiful scent to you.
And if I ever begin to stink by the stench of selfishness that causes your people to hurt.
Remind me. Remind me, Lord, how you formed me from the dirt! 
Keep me aware that I am nothing without your power.
And if I begin to think otherwise, reveal to me my weakness that very hour.
I look up and these words I wish to say to the Creator of Heaven, "Thank You with all my heart."
May I never forget where my salvation journey had its start. 
More than anything, God, I want you to know that I love you.
I do, Lord. Above all else, I do.
