Up! Up! The Day is Breaking--Paul Gerhardt

This poem was included in my little devotional (Joy and Strength, by Mary Wilder Tileston---far and away my favorite devotional book...)for this morning:

Commit thy way to God,

The weight that makes thee faint;

Worlds are to Him no load,

To Him breathe thy complaint.

Up! Up! The day is breaking

Say to thy cares, good-night!

Thy troubles from thee shaking,

Like dreams in day's fresh light.

My Mother-in-Law is coming today...better get to the chores! Busy, busy weekend...But, just another thought before I go:

**************************************************

My personal prayer for today is that I could be more like a small child...trusting her Father to know and do what is best...

I am so like a young child really, in the way that I know so little of "the big picture", and therefore cannot make proper judgements---but I so easily forget this and go barrelling into the day, wrecking havoc with my ignorant, though well-meaning gusto.
