I have to confess that the frustrations have been getting to me and I fear that in expressing them I have been very negative.
This morning I wrote this prayer which I share with you. Orginally it was written in the first person, but I changed it to include us all.
Today Lord we say “Enough”
Enough of allowing Satan to ‘white ant’ us
Enough of allowing ourselves to be the victim
Enough of seeing this wonderful, faithful part of God’s Kingdom being frustrated
Enough of wanting our timing
Enough of making our plans
Enough of seeing the Bishop and the Trustees in a negative light
Enough of seeing the bureaucratic failings of the local Municipality
Enough of seeing the human-ness of those who let us down
Enough of allowing the negatives to quench the Holy Spirit
Enough of simply saying “Unless the Lord builds the house ...”
From today we live it
Less of us Lord
More of You

Now this is the prayer I can support whole heartedly !! TODAY WE LIVE IT. Tomorrow we live it too and each special day requires us to 'pick up our cross' whatever that will be and LIVE the day. NO promises it's easy,(or even that it's going to be better), just that we are loved Bill
