My life's been grand
You know I'd write home and tell 'em
But they wouldn't believe
How good my good luck's been
And if it ended today
I've been all the way
My life's been grand.

- Writers - Merle Haggard/Terry Gordon

 

Prayer…
Lord God, Holy Spirit, Giver of All Light,
Bless and Keep All Those of This World.
Grant Us Your Peace, Your Light, Your Love.
Grant Us Complete Renewal of Body,

Mind and Spirit…
Continual Rebirth in Newness of Life.
Let Your Light Shine Upon Us and

Be Gracious to Us.
Grant to Each and Every One of Us...
Health, Comfort, Joy, Peace Within Ourselves,
Peace Within Our Families,

Peace Within Our Communities,
and Peace among All those This World.
Grant That I May Be an Instrument of Thy Peace.
Grant That I May Radiate Thy Peace,

Thy Light, Thy Love,
Thy Healing, Thy Comfort, Thy Joy,

All Those in My Thoughts
This Day and Ever More.

AMEN.

The Last Call…

Life at best is very brief,
Like the falling of a leaf,
Like the binding of a sheaf,
      Be in time!
Fleeting days are telling fast
That the die will soon be cast,
And the fatal line be passed,
      Be in time!
Fairest flowers soon decay,
Youth and beauty pass away;
O you have not long to stay,
      Be in time!
While God’s Spirit bids you come,
Sinner, do not longer roam,
Lest you seal your hopeless doom,
      Be in time!

- Charles Harrison Mason​
