From the "first day of the month" entry in A Book of Everyday Prayers by William Barclay.
"O God, our Father, who ever makest the light to shine out of the darkness, we thank Thee for waking us to see the light of this new day. Grant unto us to waste none of its hours; to soil none of its moments; to neglect none of its opportunities; to fail in none of its duties. And bring us to the evening time undefeated by any temptation, at peace with ourselves, at peace with our fellow-men, and at peace with Thee. This we ask for Thy love's sake. AMEN."

I LOVE that prayer- the the Oscar party and movie blitz day sounds like so much fun! I'm just finally getting to watch my Downton Abbey by the way- it's awesome- I do not understand people saying season 2 isn't as good as season 1- I'm still hooked (and so is my hubby).
Don't abandon the blog! Come back....come back........
