for your enjoyment

Lately I've been enjoying...

• lilacs

• My philosopher-brother reading Uncle Arthur's Bedtime Stories
  [Excerpt from "Alan and the Attic"]
  

(Alan, who is not allowed in the attic, is walking on the rafters. Mother hears creaking noises overhead.)

"'Alan!' she cried. 'Come on down at once!'

"He came, but not the way she expected.

"Suddenly there was a loud crack as part of the ceiling fell and hit mother on the head. Then two feet appeared, followed by two legs and the rest of Alan....

"Of course, when Daddy came home and saw the awful mess he had to clean up--well, Alan felt something worse than splinters. And this hurt wasn't in his hands!"

So many places
Haunting faces
Hungry hearts
Reaching hands...

Jesus, show me where to serve
I follow You.
My life is not my own;
I belong to You.

My hands are Yours;
Use them to serve.
My feet
Are yours—I’ll go.

My heart is Yours
To be filled
With your burdens
And bleed for those You love.

I cannot choose where to go
I am Yours
Lead me, guide me
Show me Your path.

I will follow You
Because I love You
King of the universe,
King of my heart.

Amen.
