Soul Growth
For it is God which worketh in you both
to will and to do of his good pleasure
Philippians 2:13 KJV

Help us, dear God, to choose between
The driving forces that rule our routine
so we may make our purpose and goal
Not power and wealth
     but the growth of our souls....
And give us strength and drive and desire
To raise our standards and ethics higher,
So all of us and not just a few
May live on earth as You want us to.

How often we are sidetracked because we want wealth and power, but that may not be God's will for our lives.  Sometimes, maybe always, he can use us as humble servants living a simple life. 
Father, help us to chose your way this day.  In Jesus Name. Amen

Yesterday was a good day, we started out for Grand Forks but decided that we didn't want to be on those roads, so we came back home, we had a restful day, I made scones for Sr. Lunch and after wards I got a spurt of cleaning energy, hung the pictures over the sofa, and cleaned the floors etc.  It is looking better.
