Treasures

A while ago I was gifted a beautiful 1944 Spiritual Almanac for Wartime book. 

Insert: It is a book for men and women engaged in the defense of the nation and is a collection of general information of religious and patriotic significance to wide awake service men and women and workers in defense industries; together with apt selections from the Bible and worth prayers and hymns;

Today was the first time I actually opened it to see what was inside and came across this:

Dear Master, in whose life I see
All that I long, but fail, to be;
Let the clear light forever shine,
To shame and guide this life of mine.

Tho' what I dream and what I do
In all my days are often two,
Help me, opress'd by things undone,
O thou whose deeds and dreams were one.

Wow - if only more people today would pray like that!

Hoping to be encouraged more as I read through.
