The Man I Prayed For

The Man I Prayed For: Ruth Bell Graham

Dear God, I prayed, all unafraid
(as we're inclined to do),
I do not need a handsome man
but let him be like You;

I do not need one big and strong
nor yet so very tall,
nor need he be some genius,
or wealthy, Lord at all;

But let his head be high, dear God,
and let his eye be clear,
his shoulder straight,
whate'er his state,
whate'er his earthly sphere;

And let his face have character
and ruggedness of soul,
And let his whole life show, dear God,
a singleness of goal;

Then when he comes
(as he will come)
With quiet eyes aglow,
I'll understand that he's the man
I prayed long ago...

Miss Potter

One of my favorite movies ever, and very family-friendly (and educational). A biopic about an English artist, the lovely Beatrix Potter, creator of Peter Rabbit and his world. Some friends recently pointed out the similarity between Miss Potter and myself---directing, I assume, to my admiration for God's nature and tendency to dabble in my "own little world." I take the resemblance as a compliment :).

P.S. You may want to push the pause button on my MixPod playlist before viewing this trailer as sound from both will intermingle and confuse :)!
