Prayer & Praise
Lord, catch me off guard today.
Surprise me with some moment of beauty or pain.
So that at least for the moment I may be startled into seeing that you are here in all your splendor,
Always and everywhere,
Barely hidden,
Beneath,
Beyond,
Within this life I breathe.
Frederick Buechner
Bless the Lord, O my soul, bless His Holy Name. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
And all that is within us, bless His Holy Name – amen, Lord open our eyes
My friend who got shot in the head is awake and able to talk to police. Apparently, he remembers the events leading up to being shot, so that seems like a really positive sign as far as not suffering severe brain damage goes. http://www.nbc26.com/news/victim-of-oshkosh-shooting-talks-to-police
j2…so glad your friend can remember. I will sure pray for him.
All, I am having eye surgery tomorrow morning. I’m nervous since this is my “good” eye and I have damaged vision in the other one, so it’s critical this surgery goes well. I’m also coming down with something, so am a little concerned. Your prayers are coveted 🙂 Thanks!
Linnea…praying.
Thank you, Michael 🙂
praying here, too, Linnea – God keep you and guide the hands of all who come near that eye
I hope your eye surgery went well Linnea.
Thank you Michael, Em and j2…the surgery appears to have gone well. They were concerned I might cough during the procedure with this cold I came down with, but God kept me still. I really appreciate your prayers. Get to do it again on the other eye 2 weeks from today!
Praying for your speedy healing and another successful surgery in 2 weeks. Keep us posted.
remembering all the folk here who have been tested so intensely lately – God give us all strength to match our days and we thank You for the mercies you show to our families
