My God, accept my heart this day,
And make it always Thine,
That I from Thee no more may stray,
No more from Thee decline.

Before the cross of Him Who died,
Behold, I prostrate fall;
Let every sin be crucified,
Let Christ be all in all.

Anoint me with Thy heavenly grace,
Adopt me for Thine own,
That I may see Thy glorious face,
And worship at Thy throne.

May the dear blood once shed for me
My blest atonement prove
That I from first to last may be
The purchase of Thy love!

Let every thought, and work, and word,
To Thee be ever given;
Then life shall be Thy service, Lord,
And death the gate of Heaven.

that is my prayer for today...Lord Jesus, please accept my battered and bruised heart this day...only YOU know what has been going on and how much i desperately need YOU to carry me through each day...the trials are threatening to overwhelm me, but I want to stand on the Solid Rock and be firm and strong...but i am so very weak Jesus! so weak...and yet You love me anyway! Praising You for this fact and for every touch You have made in my life this day...In You I pray, Amen!

we had some very sad news on our message board today...dear sweet Melissa, on the right with her baby son...her condition is not improving and the doctors have given them a time frame. As little as six months, possibly one year. My eyes are filled with tears as i type that. I don't know Melissa for real, but she is the dearest soul i have encountered online. Please friends, please lift her family to the Lord and especially for mercy and grace for her husband. You can get to her Caring Bridge page by clicking on her picture.

i have not done well the past two weeks on my weight situation...i haven't followed the no dairy or meats, and i have 2 extra pounds to show for it instead of being able to move the ticker DOWN into the 140's this week. Yet another area i haven't completely laid at the Saviour's feet...i need to do some serious praying this week!
