Sunday Poem and Gratitude List

Jamál (Beauty), 1 ‘Izzat (Might) 176 B.E. - Sunday, September 8, 2019
Feast of 'Izzat

"O God Omnipotent, do Thou shield us and be our refuge and, O Lord of Being, show forth Thy might and Thy dominion."
Abdu'l-Baha1

Depend Upon God2

Depend
upon the might
of the Lord.

Never doubt
God's love and protection.

Pray for strength
to pass the test of love;
God knows
what you need
and what you want
before you ask.

Gratitude List for 1 ‘Izzat

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for fresh brewed black coffee.
          ...that I have 959 points in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for breakfast pastries to go with my coffee.
          ...that I received a merit badge.
