[Faith-talk] Good Night Message for Tuesday, July 17 2012

[Paul]

Hello and good evening to my fellow saints resident in North America, and good Wednesday to the rest of you residing in other parts of the world.  How was your day today or yesterday? Mine was good.  As many of you know, I located a church that I hope to check out this coming Sunday morning, its location, phone number and denominational affiliation, the Reformed Church in America or RCA.  I even learned the time of their Sunday worship service.  I'll definitely need divine guidance in this area.  Thanks to one person who responded in a positively unbiased manner to my queery about this.

Mary Essenheimer (if that's the right spelling) of Montpelier VT contributed the poem for today.  Entitled "A Prayer," it is rendered as follows:

Heavenly Father, hear us pray
To thank Thee for Thy gifts today,
Radiant sunshine, skies of blue,
Friends to love and work to do,
Bread to eat to make us strong,
Songs to sing the whole day long.
And when the day draws to its close,
Sleep which gives us sweet repose. Amen.

And there is a practically unknown prayer-poem from a practically unknown poetess.  Hope it ministered to you this day.

And now may the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob just keep us safe, individually and collectively, throughout this night or day and especially in these last evil days in which we live.  Your Christian friend and brother, Paul
