a six letter word for 2015
each year I choose a word
to help me focus and learn
love, quiet, listen, slow, serve, enough
it's a prayer, it's a statement
it's a reminder, it's a mantra
some lyrics from a favorite song....
two things I beg of you
before I die, do not refuse...
keep lies far from my lips
and liars far from my midst
and please don't give to me
wealth or poverty (riches or poor)
God I ask only for enough
oh enough, God only just enough
rain more than this day's bread
I may say I'm God instead
take all my crumbs away and
I may rob and wound your name
and please don't give to me
wealth or poverty
God I ask only for enough
oh enough, God only just enough
this idea comes from Proverbs 30:7-9
and is why this blog is
song and lyrics by Shaun Groves

I bit teary-eyed from this.
