There are times when our heart is full … and yet the words don’t come easy. Today is one of those times … and that’s when I simply pray. It feels good to share the simplicity and majesty of prayer: “Lord, there are times — like now — when I don’t know what to say or pray. My heart and soul are full and cluttered. Feelings, hopes, random thoughts … bits of pain, a dash of joy, a mixture of laughter and tears … as I look at my life and the world around me. The sound of silence … in the midst of the noise and commotion of another day. I hope it’s OK that the words don’t come easy. I guess I just need to say “thanks” for embracing me, my humanity my mis-steps … and those moments when I actually do make a difference. Your son Jesus —- I know he is with me. Help me walk in his grace and goodness. Amen.” Peace to all —- Don
