Thank you Lord God for a day planned and perfectly executed
by you. From the time spent with friends
at the local Farmer’s Market in our village hall, to the time spent on my own
(except, of course, You were always with me.)
Thank you for the plentiful supply of food you have given me this
day. Thank you for my computer which has
helped me to learn more Russian today and kept me in touch with the good folk
who read this blog. Thank you for the telephone by which I have kept in touch
with friends and especially with my brother who has to have a heart procedure
next week. Thank you that You have made me realise just a little of how great You
are. May this be increased each day so
that knowing your strength and power I will feel completely safe and secure in
You no matter what life throws at me.
Help me to always say, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
