Lord, You have filled my life with those I love. I thank You for the Grace You give, to see beyond the faults into the heart. How human we all are. How frail and wounded. We are all in need of grace to grow, beyond the mundane and earthly self. Blind me to the faults that I see in others and myself. Quiet my soul enough that I can hear the need, and see the wounds. Grant me the power to see deep into the heart, where You dwell. Where the beauty of Your creation lies. that I might only see through the eyes of Your Love. Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

Ellie, This was wonderful writing. What a display of devotion and love. He has given us all so much . . . sometimes I think we forget to give thanks. Appreciate the reminder!  Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Dear Sis, This is a lovely prayer & meditation. How easily we are blinded by our feelings, misdirected in our thoughts,and our eyes fail us because we don't see beyond the surface of things and not try to see the good in the heart--thus we become less caring ourselve- when often we need to be( and other also may need from us) even more love to over come. This is a beautiful statement of intend-a prayer that surely would bring blessing to many. David "GOD GIVES- but man must open his hand." (German Proverb) |

What a heart you have, ellie!! Your poetry and how you treat others, imo, is a perfect standard of "that I might only see through the eyes of Your Love". Loved this poem. "Blind me to the faults that I see in others and myself. Quiet my soul enough that I can hear the need, and see the wounds." This is my prayer too. Thank you for generating this thought and prayer within me. Marcy |

What a beauty, Ellie! Our own hurts are biggest obsticles to seeing anothers true need. I have a plaque in my kitchen that says, "People need loving the most when they deserve it the least." I tend to think this is true for all, and your lovely poem asks for that ability. Thank you. |

 Yes I agree, alow me also to see through the eyes of Love into the needs of others and blind me to their faults as well. I love this prayer... Bob <>< [This message has been edited by Lighthousebob (edited 07-30-2000).] |

If only we all could feel the same way, and see the good in others, and not just the bad. . . Excellent. . . ------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sister Ellie, What a beautiful, thoughtful prayer tempered with such wisdom. We all need to be more patient with others and ourselves and we need to go to the SOURCE of our stength for the help we need daily. WELL DONE! Dennis :^) |
