Today is National Day of Prayer. I begin and end my day in prayer. I thought about this at 2:00am when I woke up. Not being able to return to sleep I wrote the piece on prayer. A simple piece straight from my heart. Late last night before drifting off to sleep after reading awhile I thought about how material items really don’t matter to me anymore. A new piece of jewelry, flowers or even nice box of chocolates or bottle of champagne don’t matter. I’d rather have someone’s time doing simple things. Taking time to just watch a sunset or walk along the beach more romantic as it’s given without opening the wallet or purse. I’d rather a picnic then going out for fancy meal. Perhaps it’s this period of isolation (as I call it) makes me realize simple things such as time given matters. Everyone has their opinions of what is romantic and what is not. I think this all started to whirl in my brain after I read this book. The proposal was simple but of course she had to figure out the clues he gave her. It wasn’t at a fancy restaurant with champagne where the final clues given. This proposal was thought out cleverly and from the man’s heart.
Today was the second day this week I woke up before the dog next door barked. I kidded my husband and said he didn’t bark because he wanted to let me sleep. It was birds that were tweeting that I heard.
Until next time.....enjoy your day.
The birds awaken me this morning....not the
neighbor’s dog
Funny this is second day this week I’m up
before his barks
I think he’s been replaced by bird song
PRAYERS

I bow my head in prayer
Every morning.....every night
At meal time....No matter where I am
No shame I have about taking the time to
bless my food
Telling Him “thank you” for what He
gives to us
In my conversations I ask the Lord to ease my troubled soul....to provide comfort to
those in need....to guide us
Whatever the day brings I always know
He is beside me....I am never alone
The best part of my day....my time spent in
prayer with our Heavenly Father
TIME GIVEN
© Scottie-ann Murphy
It’s not the amount of money you spend on
someone.....it’s the quality of time you give
Materialistic things should not be top
the priority
Gold and silver tarnish....
Diamonds and emeralds lose their
sparkle....
Flowers wilt and die....
Silks and satins become dingy....
Spend time doing the simple things
together important
A walk in the woods or the park....
sitting by a lake or the ocean....
Viewing the rising sun at dawn....
watching the setting sun at dusk....
These things never mar or lose their luster
Time spent and given a precious
commodity given from the heart.....
not the wallet
