I Rock!
I climb the stairs each day,
Then I turn on the light.
Sometimes it’s still dark out.
I rock ’til it gets bright.
Sipping my cup o’ coffee,
Rocking as I pray,
I meditate and read His Word
As I welcome each new day.
I can rock away troubles;
I can sit here and be still.
I can listen to the Spirit,
And discern the Father’s Will.
I can rock in my wicker chair
Until my head and heart are clear.
I can feel the Lord’s presence
And thank God He’s ever near.
And when my rocking’s over
I thank Jesus for his time,
And slowly I descend the stairs
(It’s my 12-step program climb).
Climb down to face the world.
Climb down to start my day.
Use the Fruits of the Spirit
In a thoughtful kind of way:
- Thank You for the LOVE,
- the JOY
- and the PEACE that are mine.
- Help me, Lord, with PATIENCE,
- KINDNESS
- GOODNESS
- and FAITHFULNESS (which brings blessings)
8. Help me with GENTLENESS,
9. and SELF-CONTROL.
10. Help me live HUMBLY with an ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
11. and a response of GENEROSITY, FORGIVENESS,
12. OBEDIENCE and INTEGRITY.

IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!
And now I am at the bottom of the stairs where these words greet me across from the front door – “The Greatest of These is Love” – and these angels smile at me on the wall beneath the stairs:

I say a prayer each day for them, too –
They and their daughters, Simone & Caroline.
I rock! And my day will rock, too
Because I have taken time to pray.
I rock! And you will rock, too
Because I pray for you, too, each day.

Is a list of each WordPress friend.
I ask the Lord to guard you.
Rock on! Accept the love I send.
Thanks for visiting JanBeek.
