Today I Believe

Our family is very Irish...so this last weekend was a celebration for us.  My mother's church had an Irish Potluck with a bagpiper and all.  Landry had a blast!  They handed out a poem at the potluck that just really stuck with me, and I wanted to share it with you all.  I don't know who to give credit to, because it was in a pamphlet, and no name was attached to this particular poem...but here it is:

Today I Believe

Lord, You have always given bread for the coming day;
and though I am poor, today I believe

Lord, You have always given strength for the coming day;
and though I am weak, today I believe.

Lord, You have always given peace for the coming day;
and though of anxious heart, today I believe.

Lord, You have always kept me safe in trials;
and now, tried as I am, today I believe.

Lord, You have always marked the road for the coming day;
and though it may be hidden, today I believe.

Lord, You have always lightened this darkness of mine;
and though the night is here, today I believe.

Lord, You have always spoken when time was ripe;
and though you be silent now, today I believe.

I've had a couple people ask me why I title each post with scripture.  Mostly its to remind me of my blessings, and of the promises from God that I can find in His word...but also to encourage others.  I wish I had a picture of our family in Irish gear...but Gracie was getting fussy so we didn't get one.  I did manage to get a couple cute pics of my two most precious blessings this weekend.  Have a great week!!!!
