Instrument of God

Lord make me an instrument. Not a trumpet or a guitar Not an organ or a flute But an instrument of peace God make me a teacher Not a teacher of philosophy Nor a teacher of Music or art But a teacher of humility Lord make me a servant Not in governance Not in business But a servant of your people Lord make me an instrument of peace Lord make me  a teacher of humility Lord make me a servant of your people Lord make me a human being.

God's Child

My child life is short But it can also be full So live it to the full But with God in hear shot

Thank you

Thank you Lord for the gifts you have given me.  The small invisible  things that make this insignificant life worth moving.  The big hearty things that throb and make my heart merry, the wonderful things that make my world beautiful, but also the pain and sorrow that make me humble, the struggle and strife that make me wonder and the tears that flow that wash my heart each time its strained.  For this and many more I say....THANK YOU.

Today

If today is nae and that be my day I will take it as it nears As I know of a better dear If yesterday was to repeat And I had to do it a feat Then I would do it the same For I have no one to blame Today is what I have Yesterday I could have but its gone in far yonder And I should not wonder Then I will live for today And forgive for yesterday Look forward to another day With God all my days

The day of reckoning

Its very sad for a parent to realise that they are not capable of taking care of their child's need. This was an opening statement from a mother who was seeking assistance to take her teenage doughter to high school. The girl passed highly but I have to face her and tell her I failed you since I cant keep my end of the burgain.  It was not always like this my mother strugglled single handedly with the 9 of us and made sure we got a decent education and were upright tax payers.  I looked at the Mama and wondered has it come to this? Gone are the days when uncles could volunteer to pay something for their relatives or the church or just any welwisher.  No this is not true there are many more opportunities for our children to persue education than they were before, unfortunately and this is true for this mama, the information is with a select few and these enjoy the benefits of charity while the real beneficiaries oogle in poverty and continue in its cycle.  Take the mama for example
