"In every thing give thanks"

LORENE H. TROUSDALE

When my grateful waking thoughtRises into prayer,Father, I will thank Thee,First of all will thank Thee,For Thy watchful care.

Poem

Oh , the joy of knowing God is Love,That He guides and protects His own;That within His faithful, loving armsWe are safe from evil unknown!Oh, the joy that comes at early dawnAs we wait the approaching day,Where we may trustingly walk with Him In the presence of Love alway!

Poem

Greater Love

LULU A. REID

Dear Father-Mother God, I truly prayFor growth in love, with every passing day:A Christly love, considerate and kind,That helps me to forgive and love mankind;A love too broad to censure or condemn,Or think unkindly of my fellow men;A love whose light a lost sheep may behold,And find his way back to the Father's fold;A love so selfless I can clearly seeHow Thou wouldst have me serve humanity;A love so meek that I cannot denyThe fullness of The infinite supply;An understanding love, that I may feelThe gratitude that helps to bless and heal;A sister-brother love I would impartThat all may find a welcome in my heart;A love so pure I see Thee face to face,And know that all are safe in Thy embrace;A spiritual love, to know reality—Thy universe in perfect harmony.

Poem

Aspiration

Anne H. Brogan

Dear God, we ask that we may love Thee for Thyself alone,For all the goodness and the beauty that are Thine;That we may know adoringly that Thou art Love supreme;The One serene, unchangeable, in power divine;The One most lovely, and the most to be desired by all.

Poem

The Father

RUTH D. SMITH

God who made the day to riseFrom a blackened night,Gave a tiny bird strong wingFor a skyward flight—Will He not lift me?

Poem

Understanding

NEVA L. MICHEL

From out the corner, when the fire is low,Come all the woes and cares I used to know,To pass in still array before my eyes,The little heartaches, all the tears and sighs.

Poem

The Guest

MAUDE DE VERSE NEWTON

Did you hear His voice, O pilgrim,When the night was dark and long;Did you hear Him calling softly,Sweeter than the sweetest song?

Poem

Truth Revealed

RUTH MARIE DILLON

The Lord is in this place; and lo, I knew it not,And I have seen Him face to face—have heard the voiceOf Love speaking to my awakened consciousness;And, like the patriarch of old, I too rejoiceThat I may see this realm,Where human sense was claiming false environment,Illumined with the light of Truth omnipotent.
