Your time vs God's time

Psalm of God's Good Time

Divine Friend, I feel sorry
for those whose clocks
have faces that are circled
with terrible things
rather than twelve numbers.

I pray for those who
measure time by misfortunes,
their miseries the minutes
ticked off with groans
the life is so painful

In their hourglass of life
each grain of sand is a sorrow,
trickling trials piling up,
making mountains of miseries
from molehills of sad sand.

May I keep your good time
O God:
all my clocks measuring life
only by counting your rich
blessings,
hour by hour, your gifts galore,
making twice as long
a lifetime ticking with
thanksgiving.

Saint Paul proclaimed the need to give thanks always
and for everything. Regardless of the symbols or
numbers printed on the face of your wristwatch or
clock, to keep time according to God's good time is to
know what time it is: It is time to give thanks.
