God,
Thanks for the safe trip to Keene and back
and for the beautiful day and my ability to
enjoy it with my healthy granddaughter.
Thank you also for the long and fruitful life of
a friend’s Dad who died tonight.
Thank you for the spirit of giving and sharing
and fighting disease that, just yesterday helped
one of his granddaughter’s and her friends raise
over $15,000 to fight the breast cancer that has
stricken her and 4 of her friends under 40 in
Woburn in the last few years.
Thank you for the doctors, nurses, lab researchers
and all others who work with and for patients like
this young woman’s nephew, just 6 and working his way
through treatment for lymphoma and lukemia.
God, I am so fortunate to know thise folks and to see
the love and determination their family shows through
such difficult times. Surround them with your comforting
presence and bring them peace.
Amen
