Lord,
You have been with me all through this day,
stay with me now.
As the shadows lengthen into darkness
let the noisy world grow quiet,
let its feverish concerns be stilled,
its voices silenced.
In the final moments of this day
remind me of what is Real.
But let me not forget
that you were as present in
the stresses of the day just past
as you are now
in the silence of this night.
You have made me for
day and for night,
for work and for rest,
for both heaven and earth.
Here in this night
let me embrace and not regret
the mysterious beauty of my humanity.
Keep me in the embrace of your Reality through the night,
and the day to come.
Surround me with your silence
and give me the rest that only you can give--
Real peace,
now and forever.
- Evelyn Underhill

Tammie and I hurriedly left our swimming "date" after church when we saw two large firefighting helicopters pass overhead. The second chopper pausing to fill with water in which we were going to swim! Your poem sums up the feeling I had while driving up the road... God calls us to be with Him at all times... how bad could any situation really be, standing next to the creator of the universe? I must admit to being greatly relieved, however, that the ranch was NOT on fire! mark
Beautiful! Love that picture, too.
What a wonderful way to end the day!! Your picture goes beautifully with her poem!
