From the Prayer Journal of Fr. Jack Tolley

Psalm 50:15 - Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you
 
I cut this out and placed it in my 2002 Prayer Journal.  But I forgot to note where it came from.
Talk about getting old.  I thought you would enjoy it like I did.
Blessings and love, Jack
 
BEATITUDES FOR THE FRIENDS OF THE AGED 
Blessed are they who understand
My faltering step and shaky hand.
Blessed are they who know my ears today
Must strain to catch the things they say. 
My eyes are dim and my thoughts are slow.
Blessed are they who looked away
When coffee was spilled at the meal today.
Blessed are they who, with a cheery smile, 
Stop and chat for a little while.
Blessed are they who never say:
"You've told that story twice today."
Blessed are they who know the ways
To bring back memories of yesterdays.
Blessed are they who make it known
I'm loved, respected, and not alone.
Blessed are they who ease the days
On my journey home...in loving ways.
On my journey home...in loving ways.
