Prayers for the Headlines, Friday, January 7, 2011

Good Morning, God
The headlines have spoken about history and an historian around Dubois County.  The historian is a valuable person who keeps track of where we have been as people and as a community.  Hopefully, we will always build on an historical past, growing from it and building a better tomorrow.
Lord, a little poem from a movie gets it right when it says "Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery; today is a gift", that is why it is called "the present."
So, Lord, the question is how will we use our gifts of the present?  Will we put it away, because we don't like the gift?  Would we just as soon "todays' would not come?  Will we use our gift to its fullest potential?  Will we run out of the present each day, because we love all that life has to offer?  Will we use the gift you give us of each day to learn more, listen more and love more - and share these gifts of the present?  May this be our choice.
In Jesus name, Amen
