A Reflection – 22 October 2020

As we watched the news today
Watching as I prepared to share my presentation for class
My heart was consumed and overwhelmed
We pray for…
Our very dear friends in the Rocky Mountains who are family
Our wildlife neighbors with whom we share a deep connection
Our Rocky Mountain family is suffering
Lord, as wildfires approach our mountain home
Our family is forced to choose what can fit into their cars as they evacuate
They are worrying about pets they could not coax into carriers
They are worrying about artwork which is a part of their very soul
For our dear family, two-legged and four-legged we pray
Calm the winds and bring precious moisture to smother the flames
Into your heart and hands we lift those whom we love
Lord in your mercy, hear this humble prayer
Hold the burdens of our aching hearts
Dona Nobis Pacem et in Terra
Grant Us Peace on Earth
With you in prayer.
Love and miss you my friend
