[plugger]

I often, I mean real often wake around 3 or 4 in the morning and try to take advantage of that real quite time to talk with the Good Lord, but then my mind seems to run off somewhere else, and this has bothered me, it is sort of like being disrespectful to God. Again this morning I woke, but it was just a little past 2 and I got to talking with God and once again my mind ran off somewhere else, then I came back to God, this morning I got to speaking with God about this, it just does not make sense----I don't mean to, but I just get lost, so to speak.......anyway this morning while talking with God about what I thought my weakness was this old song came to to me-----

Open my eyes that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free.
Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my eyes, illumine me,
Spirit Divine!

I thought on that for a few minutes then this came to mind----my mind runs off, but I am really counting my blessings. Now that may not make a lot sense but it did to me. Although my mind wanders off somewhere I am at the same time being thankful for the life I have had, for those in my life, for those events in my life.-----These thoughts came after I got tuned into that old song, "Open My Eyes That I May See"-------Sometimes the best lessons are learned from other's mistakes, maybe one day if you get concerned about yourself or a life event, or a problem, you will think on this and sort of make it a prayer, "Lord, Open my eyes that I might see.", Certainly worth a try
