[Knitting A Conundrum]

Morning Prayer
This is the day the Lord has made -
Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

O Lord,
thank you for the gift of another morning.
teach us to see that
each dawn is a time to celebrate,
each evening to reflect,
each moment to cherish -
So often we forget how precious these moments are -
how brief is life,
how long is eternity -
and so much work to do in your name.

O Lord,
thank you for the gift of another morning -
another chance to be your hands on earth,
another chance to say the words I always meant to say,
smile the smile that lightens the load
of a frazzled friend,
a chance to actually help that poor one,
to give up something
to help another,
to let you know Lord how grateful I am
that you would care,
reach out and lead me home.

O Lord,
thank you for the gift of another morning -
help me Lord, to use it as you want me to.
In your hands, I commend my self this day,
and no matter if the day is sad,
or hard,
or unnerving,
or joyful,
or peaceful,
or exciting,
let me find you always,
holding my hand and leading me closer to you.

Amen.


Dear FRiends,

Please join me in some serious prayer today and for the next several days for our nation and for the situation in the Middle East, which is once again getting extremely close to a flashpoint, especially in Lebanon, and for all our people, miltary and contractor, abroad right now during this time.

God bless you.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High,
who abides in the shadow of the Almighty,
will say to the LORD, "My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust."
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand;
but it will not come near you.
You will only look with your eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.
Because you have made the LORD your refuge,
the Most High your habitation,
no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.
For he will give his angels charge of you
to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent
you will trample under foot.
"Because he cleaves to me in love,
I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will rescue him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him,
and show him my salvation."

Psalm 91

Much needing, today and in the increasingly dangerous near future.
