Blessings to you

Once in a while, something really heartwarming lands up in your inbox, and you want to share it. Put it up for posterity, maybe.
It's the season of Lent, and a time for reflection. I'd like to thank my uncle, Henry Hulley, who sent me this all the way from Australia.
Whoever took the time to pen this verse, you've probably spread a great deal of happiness around cyberspace. Thanks!

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,
Please bless my computer too.

Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, 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 in-box

And each person who hits 'send'..

When you update your Heavenly list

On your own Great CD-ROM,

Bless everyone who says this prayer
