AMEN! I feel each one of us could and should pray this contest entry each day. We rarely thank God for all He's created for us. I enjoyed reading and good luck with the contest.

Comment from Sarita Méndez
This is such a good prayer to God! And you are so kind for these little birds. As God said (I'll try to translate as best as I can) : "What you'll do to the most little of my people, you will do it to Me".
Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful text and good luck for the contest.

Comment from T B Botts
Hello John,
I used to work at a school. The principal at the time used to say, people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Of course there are multitudes of ministries, just in this country alone who are spreading the gospel. Since that is the case, it makes one wonder, why are people leaving the church in droves? In part, it could be because they aren't seeing the love of Christ from those of us who are disciples. I think actions speak louder than words. I don't believe in enabling people, I think folks need to be responsible, but we've all had issues that we could use a friend to talk to, or hand up or even a hand with fixing the car or shoveling snow. The opportunities are endless, we just need to be listening. Well done John.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Thanks, Tom. I think you've hit on it. The key is listening...listening for that small voice inside us and to those around us. And what we do says so much more than what we say. I think the younger generations have lost touch with the church because they are more concerned with this world. As you know, the bible says the cares of this world will choke the word of God. I battle that myself. And we've forgotten how to be our brother's keeper. I appreciate your review and especially the sixth star. Blessings to you.
John
Comment from patcelaw
When I pillow my head at night, it is my desire that I have done something good for somebody that day. Many times I don't have the opportunity to do a lot of good because I'm not around a lot of people, but I try to be good to my family with whom I live, and that counts for something I suppose. I wish you the very best with all of your writing. I read in your profile that you're a retired bank regulator. From the message in your story, I would say we need people like you to do that very job.

Thank you Patricia. I can tell from your writing that you do a lot of good for a lot of people...your readers. I am one of those. I spent 32 years with the FDIC examining banks to make sure their depositors' money was safe. I really appreciate your sweet review. John

Comment from royowen
What a beautiful prayer, it's a prayer of exactly what a servant should, if you read my poem on I believe, God shared with me the depth of what a servant is and it doesn't matter what it is, but we plug up holes in the unkindness of the world, beautifully written John, blessings Roy

Comment from Jasmine Girl
This prayerful reflection serves as a touching reminder to cherish the present, engage in acts of kindness, and share the love and grace bestowed upon us. It is a heartfelt plea for guidance and a commitment to making a positive impact in the limited time we have on this earth.
Well done.

Thank you, Jasmine. Your review so eloquently summed up my rather lengthy dissertation in three perfect little lines. You touched on the heart of what I was trying to say, and I appreciate your kind words. John
