Lord,
1. May my prayers
Be less about asking,
And more about listening;
2. My worship
Less about speaking,
And more about waiting;
3. My witness
Less about talking,
And more about loving;
4. And my life
Less about wanting,
And more about giving.

I’m so glad you managed to feel up to getting to the cathedral! I felt a warm glow when I saw the photo of the Met, even though most of the hues are blue. It’s such an incredibly beautiful place. If this is what humankind can construct, just think what’s waiting for us in Heaven!
I’m glad you coped with the ordeal, Ruth, and hop that you’ll get lots of rest today. xxx
Complete rest today and tomorrow now essential. All I do is sleep, wake, sleep. Might manage a bit of tv this evening. I’ll reply to your email as soon as I can. Love R XXXXXXXXX
Missed out an ‘e’, but I hope you’re up to hopping too. :D
