May I - 2012

Thankful, Lord. Let this me be.
May I never be blinded to all of the Heaven you have designed in me.

May I never forget that as the Creator of all things, you still know my name.
May I always be gracious because in all of my wrong doings, I am somehow without blame. 

Help me, Lord, remember your relentless blood.
How it washed away my stains like only the strongest of loves could. 

May I never forget that the King is my father.
Help me, Lord, act in a way where they'll say, "Now, that's the King's daughter." 

May I never be a fool that is ignorant of your power.
May I always remember how you wiped out cancer from Roger's body when it looked like death was the man of the hour. 

May I be ever grateful for your unfailing, unconditional, irrevocable love.
May my hand be placed on the chest of greed and hate and give it a mighty shove.

May I remember that this very love saved my brother's soul. 
What once was empty and a dark pit is now filled up and made whole.

May I always be overwhelmed with joy when I am surrounded by my family.
Let them be like a treasure in my heart that is constantly glowing inside me. 

May I always give you glory when I think of my dad's new home.
How he gets to stand in front of the Majesty of existence at His throne. 

Thankful, Lord. Let this me be.
When I think on that heavenly reunion drenched in beauty. 

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. 

May I always be aware of the friends you have given to me.
Help me serve them, love them, bless them, and challenge them as far as their eyes can see.

May I never be ungrateful or full of a false pride.
Help me be thankful. Ever thankful that You, oh lord, are forever by my side. 

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! 

May I never lose my zeal to love You.
Remind me always that there is none above You.

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.
