Oh, God, give me grace for this day.Not for a lifetime, nor for next week,
nor for tomorrow, just for this day.
Direct my thoughts and bless them,
Direct my work and bless it. . . .
So that for this one day, just this one day,
I have the gift of grace
that comes from Your presence.
(a prayer by Marjorie Holmes)
I wanted to do a new post for today but nothing was really coming to my mind. I really think about what I want to say before I do a post and try to say something meaningful for you, my friends. All the ideas I had for today just didn't seem to be coming together. The above prayer kept coming to mind as I thought about what to say. And so, this is a prayer I say for my own life and hopefully, it will help you in some way today. I hope you have a week where you feel God's presence in your life each day.

Hi sweet Vicki, This is such a very beautiful prayer, I would love to have it in a frame so I could read it every day and I think I will do just that. I enjoy your posts so much Vicki as they are always so sincere and heartfelt.
I am sorry I haven't been by for a little while, but I have been feeling sad as I miss my precious son so very much. This time of year is bittersweet for me. I have such dear and precious memories of Stevie, but it hurts because I long to see him again so much. I am so glad I stopped by tonight, as your beautiful post has meant so much to me. Thank you dear friend.
Love & Hugs, Carol Anne
Such a beautiful post Vicki. I think that it is always so good to stop and ask for God's grace. This time of year God gets lost in the middle of our busyness, when this time of year is really all about His son. Thank you for posting such a beautiful prayer.
