The TalkingScot evening prayer

Russell · Post by **Russell** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 9:52 pm

This just popped through my e-mail box from a friend and it says so much about my feelings for the DG and its many posters.

Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.
And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too.
Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.
You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.
I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.

By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.
Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.
Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits "send".
When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer
Sent up to GOD.com

Amen

Sums up my feelings.
Russell

Russell,

Well that made me cry. What a wonderful poem!

I truly believe, while not a church-goer, that He looks over us. The explosion of computer contact and contacts must surely come under his "friends to be cared for".

Wonderful!

As we are all one big happy family,I think its a good idea to include our email friends in our prayers!
