The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
The end of a good visit with Dad
A wonderful visit with a dear friend
Dinner and stories and laughter
Fellowship and support and love
For the gifts you have given us, Thank You, Lord
As we prepare for sleep and a day of travel tomorrow
I lift to you this humble prayer
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
Over the course of my life, I have learned to accept that I am still in process.

You never know the difference you make each day… thank you, Joy ❤️
So many of us mistakenly think that our lives don’t amount to much. We wonder if we make any mark on the world at all, or if we simply exist as lost and invisible souls. No more than a fleeting mist or blip in the universe.
Can I encourage you today, my friend?Can I help you to see past the easily swallowed lies of the enemy?Because the holy truth you need to hold on to is that you are infinitely important and precious. Yes, you really are. Despite what your unhappy upbringing, challenging circumstances or painful past might be saying to you, you are very much loved and wanted by God.
The mathematics of heaven are totally different to the arithmetic of earth. Here, one as a number seems too small, too insignificant to count. But in heaven? One person, one act or thought becomes highly significant in…

Excellent food for thought, Jake!
In 2017 pollsters asked Americans what we feared most. Apparently, spiders did not make the list. In my book, that proves that Americans lie.
Dying barely made the top 50, trailing fear of reptiles (ranked 44) and sharks (41). Pollution of the air, of drinking water, and of natural bodies of water like lakes, rivers, and oceans occupy three separate spots in the top 10.

The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
A full day of medical appointments
A full day of simply enjoying my Dad
A time of remembering the events of a year ago
A time of enjoying the quiet with my sweetie
Playing Dominoes and laughing
As we prepare to begin our homeward journey
We ask for your Spirit’s presence
Circle each of us, Lord
For our Dads who continue to walk through the Valley of the Shadows
For my Sweetie and for me as we walk with each other and our Dads
For all of the heartfelt silent prayers
In your mercy, hear this humble prayer
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
What a day, Lord
Early morning rising
Wipe the sleep from our eyes
A morning of flying and driving
Tender and poignant moments with my Dad
Time spent just being with him
Time spent helping with simple errands
Walking together through the Valley of the Shadows
Time spent with dear friends
Time spent in reflection and prayer
Time spent simply being still in Your presence
Now as our eyelids grow heavy
I lift this humble prayer to you
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
The sun has set and the Vesper Lights flicker and glow
What a day, Lord
Meetings and Planning
Collaborative efforts with partners
Time to prepare for travel
Praying that all will go well with the visit with Dad
As my eyelids grow heavy, I lift this humble prayer
Dona Nobis Pacem
Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the heart of your Padre…
