Dear Lord I want to thank You
for always being there
And I’m grateful I can count on You
to listen to my prayer
This prayer is about my husband’s driving
and I’m sure that You can see
That he expects to drive from point A to point B
But other drivers don’t cooperate
and they get in his way
And sometimes they even cut him off
and make him use his brakes
And my husband thinks the drivers
plot and scheme to ruin his day
And then he uses words that I never hear him say
Lord, you know this is distressing to me
-so meek and mild
And when I drive, I never go too fast or get too wild
I ignore all the honking when I’m driving 25
I go slow and smell the flowers
It’s so great to be alive!
Just last night, Lord. I made omelets
And I chopped up all the veggies
Then I beat the eggs so vigorously
I had planned to cook with ease
I poured into the omelet pan
imagining it would be
Just like a pretty picture
in a cooking magazine
But the omelet got stuck and came out one lumpy mess
Pots and pans went flying everywhere
and I Screamed- I must confess!
And my sweet adoring husband said he’d eat it anyway
But that didn’t calm the cook or make the anger go away
Oh, dear Lord I am digressing- I must get back to prayer
And I want to thank you once again for always being there
I am reading Matthew chapter 7, but before I turn the page
I ask You Lord just one more time- Help my spouse with his road rage!
