Morning prayer

Give ear to my words, Oh Lord, consider my meditation.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King and my God:
for unto Thee will I pray.
My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, Oh, Lord;
in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee
and will look up." Psalm 5: 1-3

This song ran through my head on my morning walk today. It made me think of the Book of Common Prayer, and the common prayers that I offer up each day. I love the inspiration I get from reading the beautiful ancient scripture saturated prayers. The first page is titled, "the order for Morning Prayer." My usual prayers, however, are usually unordered, out of step with my rhythmic pace. God hears both types, thankfully, and in His mercy answers them in His way and in His time.

I got a great deal on a Kirby vacuum (this was a quick answer to a prayer). It just needs to go in for servicing this week and it will be in working order to maybe help Jon and Paige clean their new place before they move in. I sold our old one about five years ago and I wish I had never done that. I sold it for $50.00 and the one I bought yesterday is the same model and I bought it for $45.00 with my senior discount. I will try to take a picture of it and post a before and after picture. If Jon can do it with bikes, I can do it with vacuums.
