Keep me looking up to You, not down at myself, for I am Your child. You are my beloved Father. Keep me from frustration at what I canβt control. Donβt let my gravestone read βShe Died Angry.β Let me always thank you for life, its joys and troubles, This world is not my final home. My final home is You. Holy Spirit, fill my life with joy. May my only whine be what I drink with cheese.

“This world is not my final home.” My sentiments exactly. Thank you, Nolcha.
