Amethyst Remembrance

Today is my Birthday!

Another year older, but am I another year wiser?

"Have I grown in understanding and love,

In patience and generosity?
Have I walked with faith and hope?
Have I, in a small way, contributed to the world?
And have I fully appreciated the wonder
and beauty in every day?

~ Gladys Taber ~

"You have been in the storms and swept by the blasts.

Have they left you broken, weary, beaten in the valley,
or have they lifted you to the sunlit summits
of a richer, deeper, more abiding
manhood and womanhood?

Have they left you with more sympathy
with the storm-swept and the battle-scarred?"

The Lord has kept and preserved me
through so much during my life,
both before and after
I was cleansed by His precious blood.

May He awaken me to His will
and guide me with His still small voice
as I move about
my own little corner of the world.

May there be something from my life
that will bring honour and glory
to His Precious Name!
