Prayer

 

Abba God

I raise my hands to you.

Pick me up and carry me.

Hold me close enough to feel your heart

Enfold me in the safety of your arms

Lift me up so that I can see

And let me rest my head upon your shoulder.

This raising of my hands

is my offering of praise

This bowing of my head

my only act of worship.

Fog

 

There's something philosophical about a foggy morning, which by obscuring some details emphasizes others.

On my birthday, I had a whole crew who came to clean gutters, put away lawn furniture and help cross tasks off my to-do-list.

It's hard to beat a good book in front of a warm fire.

 You know that your little brother is truly grown up when he voluntarily takes you to an art museum when you go to visit him.
