A PRAYER OF PROTECTION
The light of God surround you The love of God enfold you The power of God protect you The presence of God watch over you Wherever you are, God is, And all is well. Amen.
BLESS THIS HOUSE Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

All cleaned up. Was an experience. Second time. Loved it. Really got to know the Aboriginals and station owners in the bush (outback) - did two flights since I got home. This coming weekend will fly some people to Brisbane for the weekend. Convention, what have you. Then of course checking out the night scene. LOL

The lakes have thawed.
It is fishing weather. But, the Fish and Game guys had to delay stocking the lakes for two weeks due to the ice.
Mosquitos are swarming.
