That Time of the Year

Prayers - Request Prayer

By Lori Strawn

That Time of the Year

Hassled time, hurried time,ThatTimeoftheYear-Prayer
crafted of jammed schedules,
marathon cooking sessions,
and shopping trips from hell.
Why do I make this season
harder than it must be?
All You ask of me is to live and give thanks:
I save all that for one lone day,
and pursue busy-ness all the rest.
Stop me. Remind me of my treasures...
The ones I did not buy in a store.
Crack open my heart
and let true joy pour forth.
