A wood beam in my eye, yet I still throw a stone
I know I’m not perfect, but I’m not alone
I pray for world peace – far fetched it may seem
But, can you imagine a more wonderful dream?
I’ll settle for peace in my own little house
So, maybe someday, I’ll quit fighting my spouse.

At the writing of this, my dad passed away the day before yesterday. I was in the room with him when the Good Master came for him. Truly, the Master gives us everyone and everything we need right up to our last day. For as old as I am, I have been fed every day. My dad was fed. Lord has a way of hiding pain. I don’t believe dad was suffering in pain, in the end. True, he received pain medication, but I think there was more than that. Something given from above.
Now, I have two Fathers waiting for me. My earthly father and my Heavenly Father. Lord and Master, I pray to serve you, and to do your will right up to my last day, on earth.

P.S. Lord,

“I am a man, but I can cry
”Cause it’s hard to watch your father die.”

Acceptance

Do I have control issues today? Have I
yet learned that I cannot control you? I
cannot make you drive a car better. I can
not make the waiter (waitress) serve me quicker.
I can not make the food tastier. I can not
make you stop smoking. I would like to
shake some people a little but they will
not listen any harder.

I need to accept you the way you are.
I need to let you do what you must do.
However, I can change the way I think.
Maybe the world doesn’t need to be changed
as much as my thinking does. As I
change the way I think, so does the
world seem to change.
