Today I feel an immense sense of gratitude and thankfulness to a loving Heavenly Father. I wrote this poem last year and thought I would share it here:





GUIDANCE

This morning as I rose from bed
And got down on my knees
A feeling of warmth and love
Seemed to encircle ‘round about me
I began my prayer with thanks to Him
For my safety and peace through the night
Then asked for blessings and assurances
That my thoughts and actions this day would be right

As I pondered on the day ahead
I seemed to feel His gentle touch
And am reminded of how I am cared for
And thought about so much
From others here on earth who seem
To be as angels to me at times
Allowing Him to guide their hearts and hands
With the daily mountains they must climb

I wait for the promptings He allows me
As I serve diligently those He loves
Listening intently for His directions
And guidance from above
He helps me understand their needs
Some of them great or small
To guide, ensure and direct my actions
To each of His children--one and all

With gratitude in my heart I begin my day
Knowing that He watches over me
And know that if I listen and obey
I can help others and increase my testimony
How blessed I am to know the truth
That this beautiful gospel brings
To all of those who follow Him
A sweet assurance sings.

I go forward with faith knowing through Him
All will be made possible.
