poem as today's Snippet.


                       A Devotional
 In early morn we wake, rejoice, arise
 To know our Father's love will never fade;
 To see His glories as He paints the skies;
 To love the beauty of this world He made.
 He offers much, this Father of our joy
 Who gives to us this present of a day.
 Although there will be things that may annoy,
 Yet thunderheads are gloried by sun's ray.
 This day He gives to us to use as we
 Do choose - no promise of another one -
 So every choice we make demands a fee
 And every fee is paid by setting sun.
 It is no giny gift He gives us here:  
 Let us be sure our use will bring Him cheer.
