I was at loose ends. It was a Friday evening, and I was Weary after a tiring afternoon. I'm a book fanatic and had already read for Awhile, but I needed a change. I wandered around the house, sat back down to Peruse the T.V. Guide, But not one, Not a single program interested me. Up again, I headed toward the piano in the Corner of my living room, the tiny one passed on From my friend to my daughter, and finally To me. I sat down on the green padded stool and opened My hymn book. I began to play softly, not at all concerned about My mistakes. "Amazing Grace." "I Need Thee Every Hour." "There Is a Fountain." "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." On and on I fingered the songs allowing the Words and melodies to envelop me, playing for His ears too, and Just as He once calmed the restless sea, He Gently quieted me. |
