Good Morning, God,
I know, it’s raining, yet again, but we have been there before
haven’t we!
I should feel like gathering the animals and slogging towards the ark
but I am light-hearted and forward looking today.
Not normal for the midst of Holy Week….
My mood is normally pensive and somber,
waiting for the end to arrive.
But, today I am thankful for new life given (or maybe returned).
I pray for those who need your lifegiving presence,
that they may feel it, and be comforted.
Be today with our neighbor, Carl, who has sufford like Job,
that he might find in this Holy Week your resurection life.
Thank you, especially, for skilled surgeons and teams of
caring healthcare workers who minister in your name to countless
souls on a daily basis (even if they do not know it’s for you).
amen
