These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Greatness of His Care

How does He do it day by day?
He keeps us safe when all seems lost.
The gas was nearly gone away,
yet fuel came when needed most.

When traveling at greater speeds
on the interstate, that leads to home
the nearness of some cars brought needs
of safety 'fore too close 'twould come.

The day went fast, but stops were made
for food and coffee, other things.
When needed most good care He bade.
The heart of gratitude still sings.

When change was needed in the drive,
the next road would on sign be seen.
The heat was too much to survive
as the AC kept the air at mean.

The strength was spent when home was won,
then to the couch a nap was gained.
So much could be lost without The Son,
but in Him all of life's maintained.
