Friday March 11 2016   I HOPE MY EPITAPH WILL TELL

No title to my page today.  I’ll put one up later when I think of something.  Short interlude to say hello to those I know who are daily followers.  I’m praying for you Sandra.  Friends, and those I don’t know, please continue to pray for Sandra’s pain to disappear. 

Now, I must confess about yesterday’s blog.  I actually did double duty yesterday while I was writing my blog.  The day before (which I found out about it at night) I was asked if I had something I had written or would like to write about regarding Psalm 37 as an introduction to our Pastor speaking at our Prime Time event happening this evening.  I slept on it, read Psalm 37 over and realized that I would love to write a poem regarding that chapter.  After Dave and I had our yesterdays’ discussion about being wealthy beyond measure I knew immediately that I was to write a poem relating to Psalm 37 and that the title of the poem would be “Wealthy Beyond Measure”.  Very rarely do I ever title a poem before writing it.  When I checked my phone yesterday morning I had a request that if I was going to write something the title was needed so a brochure could be printed before noon.  I immediately emailed back and was able to give the title because God had already placed it in my heart.  It wasn’t written, but I now had a promise to fulfill.

So, I was able to use my poem for two-fold purpose.  One, to include in my blog, and second to write something for tonight’s Prime Time dinner event.  So today I am practicing my presentation and making modifications here and there.  I know that my blog had a myriad of mistakes yesterday because I hadn’t had time to proof it.  I proofed it this morning by reading my phone copy and then when I went back to fix the errors I could not find some of them.  Oh well, in the scheme of life I would not count that very important.

Today I will watch a bit of the tribute to Nancy Reagan.  President and Nancy Reagan were very special people in my book.  Our country was very blessed to have a president such as Ronald Reagan proved to be. 

I HOPE MY EPITAPH WILL TELL

We all have a purpose

In the life we live.

God who designs us

Our calling He gives.

Someday we will rest

In eternal farewell.

I hope my life

God’s story will tell.

And when my days numbered

Are no more,

Do not grieve for me,

For in heaven I’ll soar.

When I am gone

I hope my epitaph will tell

“God gave her a calling

And she did it well”.

What better words

To convey the story

That my one desire

Was to share God’s glory.

Short blog. Short poem.  Short day with lots to do.  Oh by the way.  I have two dozen of my famous delicious carrot cupcakes to share with the Prime Timers this evening.  I even made a copy of the recipe and will print some off to take with me.  When people eat them they usually ask for the recipe.  At least the women do. 

Nancy Reagan’s Memorial service is coming on soon and I would like to share in this bit of history.  I know it will be touching and educational.

Have a great day!

God bless and keep you.
