The Incredible Importance of Beautiful Words (that aren't mine)

“Pay close attention, and write down everything I say, exactly as I say it.  The first book of Moses, called Genesis.  Chapter one, verse one.  In the Beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.  Verse Two.  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.  And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.  Verse Three.  And God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light.”
“Dear Lord, thank you for giving me the strength and the conviction to complete the task you entrusted to me.  Thank you for guiding me straight and true through the many obstacles in my path.  And for keeping me resolute when all around seemed lost.  Thank you for your protection and for your many signs along the way.  Thank you for any good that I may have done, I’m so sorry about the bad.  Thank you for the friend I made.  Please watch over her as you’ve watched over me.  Thank you for finally allowing me to rest.  I’m so very tired.  But I go now to my rest, at peace, knowing I have done right with my time on this earth.  I fought the good fight, I finished the race.  I kept the faith.”
