Another gray day--I am thinking of you at school, grading papers on your spring break....
"Almighty God, we bless and praise Thee that we have wakened to the light of another earthly day; and now we will think of what a day should be.... We pray Thee to shine on this day-the day which we may call our own. Lord, we go to our daily work; help us to take pleasure therein. Show us clearly what our duty is; help us be faithful in doing it. Let all we do be well done, fit for Thine eye to see. Give us strength to do, patience to bear; let our courage never fail. When we cannot love our work, let us think of it as Thy task; and by our true love to Thee, make unlovely things shine in the light of Thy great love. Amen." George Dawson, (1821-1876)
