Bedtime Prayers

Bless me as I fall asleep, Send your angels watch to keep.  Amen

It’s time for me to go to sleep. Dear Jesus, now I pray:  Thank You, dear Lord, for all I’ve done, I thank you for today.  Amen.

Gentle Jesus, hear my prayer, Keep me safe this night.  Stay with me until the dark Becomes the morning light.  Amen.

Lord Jesus, keep me in Thy sight, Through the coming hours of night.  Then when morning sunlight beams Wake me, Lord from sleepy dreams.  Amen.

Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me.  Bless your little child tonight .  Through the darkness, please be near me, Keep me safe till morning’s light.  Amen.

Now the light has gone away; Savior, listen while I pray, Asking Thee to watch and keep, and to send me quiet sleep.  Jesus, Savior, wash away, all that has been wrong today;  Help me every day to be, good and gentle, more like Thee.  Let my near and dear ones be, always near and dear to thee.  Oh, bring me and all I love, To thy happy home above.  Amen.



Waiting for Superman

I have not seen this film yet, but I’m looking forward to viewing it.  I’m not sure what solution they will come up with to deal with the failure of our public schools but I personally believe that the “buck” stops with the parents.  I’m convinced that a loving mom who is passionate about her children and eager to teach them can do a better job around her kitchen table than any “professional” teacher with her BA degree.  She can do this….and is doing this…. without all of the public money that the schools “need” and she can do this without any help from the government.  The solution  is not found in more money, nicer buildings, higher teacher salaries,  smaller classrooms, or better programs.  The solution rests with the parents.  We need to teach, train and disciple our children and not expect the government, the church, the youth pastor, or anyone else to do this for us.   My husband and I consider this to be our calling….our mission-field…and our job.    ~Anne
