Evening Prayer – 1 February 2016

  
After a long day of airports, flying, and driving up into the mountains last night, we crawled into bed at just after midnight… My prayer was a deep groan that didn’t make it into the blog. Today has been a day of funeral planning, Lenten Midweek Worship planning, Presbytery meeting planning as the host church, and shoveling snow (been a few years since I have done that!).

On this Brigid’s day, we light the candles

The Vesper Lights, like the fireplace, dance

My heart is full, O Lord

Thankful for the experience of the past week

Thankful for this beautiful place we call home

Thankful for the privilege of walking with families through the Valley of the Shadows

Thankful for the opportunty to serve

Yet I also think of those in need

In need of shelter from the storm

In need of healing

In need of encouragement and hope

In need of your grace, mercy, and peace

For this world, I lift my humble prayer

Dona Nobis Pacem

Grant Us Peace
A wee prayer from the reflective heart of your Padre…
