The Power and the Glory

by Ray Smallshaw   Jun 27, 2009


The realisation that everyday fills me with its power and glory.

As knowing the simplest of things can fill my heart and mind with joy, elation and awe of them all,

So now my life is a silent prayer of thanks to my God for allowing me to spend another moment here,

And daily my Love for him grows stronger as time draws me nearer to him,

A Love one day I know has given me an entry to eternity

    'The realisation that everyday fills me with its power and glory.'
    `Realization.
    I love this opening line, although long it tells us so much about you as a person, it's a really uplifting feeling when our days are filled with happiness, or in your words power and glory. Lovely words. I'm afraid you didnt complete your thought though? Maybe say.. I realize that everyday fills me with power and glory.

    'As knowing the simplest of things can fill my heart and mind with joy, elation and awe of them all,'
    `Loved this so much, wow. Yes the simplest of things can truly put a big smile on our face and make our day. Great job with 'elation' I was not expecting that word.. really powerful.

    'So now my life is a silent prayer of thanks to my God for allowing me to spend another moment here,'
    `Great lines here, thanking God for all he does and allowing you another day on this earth. I dont think people realize how lucky we are to live in this world, and how thankful we really should be.

    'And daily my Love for him grows stronger as time draws me nearer to him,'
    `Beautiful.. loved the capitolization of 'love'.. powerful word on its own, it sticks out and nice way of emphasizing that.

    'A Love one day I know has given me an entry to eternity'
    `Awesome ending.
