Resolutions for the New Year swirl through my head. For me, it is really important to make my resolutions count this year. Don't want ones that will drop by the wayside in a few weeks. I am bent on not resolving to lose weight (although that would make my doctor happy, and me too), or to cut up my credit card (would make my husband happy, but not sure about me), or to floss three times a day (would make my dentist happy, and Delta Dental). My resolutions must center upon seeing life as never before. So, here I go . . . .
Give Me A Heart to See
▸ a light shining in the darkness of night
▸ laughter coming from deep within an anguished cry
▸ a smile upon a face blanketed by a frown
▸ innocence upon the sheets of evil doing
▸ a twinkle in the eyes of blindness
▸ genuine prayer kneeling before an atheistic altar
▸ truth’s cancellation of deceit’s documents
▸ exquisite packages wrapped in newsprint and tied with string
▸ You Lord, even when faith wavers and the way is rough
Please Lord, in 2008 Give Me a HEART to SEE.

How lovely, Karen. Love, Helen
A wonderful post! If you keep all your resolutions and see them through the year you will be a new lady! LOL!! But we do need a heart after God!
Me too, Lord. Me too.
I love the way you wrote this.
Helen, so good to have you drop by. It is wonderful that we can have a heart after the Lord. Your posts speak so much of the fruits that He wants us to have. Enjoy them all. Have a wonderful weekend.
Kevin, my reasoning behind a Heart to See was that the only way I can truly be productive for Him is to see through the heart, My mouth, my eyes, my hands, my feet are mine - my heart belongs to Him, and since He resides there, it will allow me to see what He wants me to see.
Rochelle, have a blessed weekend. And remember Monday is the 7th - your post even had me excited to go to school.
Catherine, in reading your blog, I believe you are one that has a heart to see. It is exciting to walk in that path, isn't it?
You made me cry, right now. What would I do without the Lord?
"I feel the touch of Hands so kind and tender
They're leading me in the paths that I must trod
I'll have no fear for Jesus walks besides me
And I'm sheltered in the arms of God"
I use to sing that song - I feel that way.
Incredible post. Best yet. Thanks for sharing.
Catherine, your heart is seeing songs to refresh your spirit. Keep on singing.
