Lord, I seem to be lying awake worrying, About that difficult letter I need to write tomorrow. The politics, arguments, sensitivities, and prose. But I shouldn't be thinking about this now. How do you want me to handle this? "My son, let me work on this one for a while. In your mind, put this one in an envelope. Seal it, and leave it at the back of the shelf until morning. I will bring you a solution - one that you can't imagine now" OK Lord, I trust you. Now what? [1] "Concentrate on my presence, my son. Step aside from time with me for a moment And let your awareness of me grow. Above and beneath, within and without, Behind you, but particularly ahead of you." [2] Lord, I worship you. Humbled that you have wrapped my humanity with your divinity, And I love you. And even now, I can't remember what the letter was about. 1.. Psalm 138 v 3. 2.. Philippians 3, v 13,14. Footnote next morning, Arriving correspondence made my letter unnecessary. Copyright Howard Smith 2002. All Rights reserved. For comments or responses, please contact
