Lovely Poem

I bought this beautiful card today with such a lovely poem on it, as a gentle reminder to myself to pray everyday – and I will.  I thought I would share what the poem says on the card, with you.  I hope it touches your heart the way it did with mine.  Lots of love, Clarabelle.

the Difference

I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn’t have time to pray.
Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
‘Why doesn’t God help me?’
I wondered;
he answered, ‘You didn’t ask.’
I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on grey and bleak.
I wondered why God didn’t show me;
he said, ‘You didn’t seek.’
I tried to come into God’s presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
‘My child, you didn’t knock.’

I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.
