How Was Your Day, Lord?
by Wanda G. Schwandt (Wanda's bio)
Were You lonely today?
An elderly man received no visitors,
A prison door slammed in a teenager's face,
A child was scorned on the school play yard,
I was too busy to talk with You over morning tea.
Were You comforted today?
A caring nurse squeezed an anxious patient's shoulder,
A husband held his grieving wife,
A homeless family received nourishing meals and warm beds,
My son brought me a flower and a kiss.
Did Your heart ache today?
An abused boy was locked in a basement,
An addict turned to drugs instead of You,
A young man suffered alone with AIDS,
My toddler wandered away in a crowded mall.
Were You peaceful today?
Rain showered on parched corn fields,
Snow blanketed the land with a shimmery icing,
Ocean waves crashed on the beach at sunset,
My colicky daughter finally drifted to sleep.
How was Your day, Lord?
I searched for You in prayer and study.
Then You showed me Your heart.
Teach my heart to be one with Yours.
