Dear Lord, Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed
This tiny little prayer
Keeps running through my head..
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be;
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.
And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do.
Hope you don't mind me asking…
Bless my computer, too.
Now I know that it's not normal
To bless a mother board,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, “My Lord.”
You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends.
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my FRIENDS.
I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give;
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.
By faith is how I know them
Much the same as You.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.
Please, take an extra minute
From Your duties up above
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love!
Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail Inbox
And the person who hits Send.
When you update your heavenly list
On your own CD-ROM,
Remember each who've said this prayer
Sent up to God.com.
Amen.

Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Romans 12:10
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3:12-14
As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. (Proverbs 27:17, NLT)
Do to others as you would like them to do to you. Luke 6:31 NLT
Friends are God’s way of taking care of us. - Anonymous
