123:1 To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!

123:4 Our soul has had more than its fill of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.

If we have buried these gracious blessing, may today be the day we dig them up and put them to work, so that we might be seen as your faithful servants! Amen. (Matthew 25:14-30)
