On occasion, Michael will write quick rhyming versus of praise and endearment, and it is my desire to capture them in one place. Therefore, there will be a new category on this blog called "Glimmers and Sparks".

Here was one he sent via email this morning:

Precious, precious words and thoughts
Continue to fill our minds;
We thank You Father for Your Sweet care,
As You give to us the lines;

Your Word becomes more precious still,
As You fill us with more grace,
And for Your glory we live to You,
As now we run our race.

Oh, help us Father, as we look to You
For Wisdom from on high,
And with Your Spirit fill us now
To please You through our cry.

Oh, do for us what we cannot—
Fulfill our Master's plan;
As we commit to You our all,
Entrusting to Your Hand.
