Reservations


We all stood up, raised our hands and prayed.  When I got to the part about “Thy will be done” I doubted my sincerity.  Somewhere in the back of my head lurked the nagging question…did I really mean it?  What if God wants me to be a martyr, possibility boiled in oil…or a Mother Teresa and live a life of poverty.  Frankly, I enjoy my soft cushy life, my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, my Mac and cheese.  I don’t want to give that up.  It is hard to imagine living in some third world country and starving.  I kinda feel guilty about all of my blessings.  I did nothing to deserve any of the wonderful gifts that I have been given, but believe me, I am definitely thankful. 

Thank you Lord for all You give.
With joy and peace I’ll try to live.
Give me strength to do Your will.
Even if it is a bitter pill.  

Amen.
