My Prayers

National day of prayer.   I pray for someone who can pray with me and love me as well as match my passion for life and the joy of being alive..  I pray to find happiness and peace.  I pray for our educators and officials, police officers and politicians, my family and my country.  I pray to find friendships and healing through my hurt.  I pray for justice and truth and financial decisions that make us all prosper and pray for forgiveness.  I give a prayer of thanksgiving for the gift of life itself.  I pray for our health and our health care.  I pray for unconditional love in a love starved world.  I pray for everyone who feels lost and sorrow including myself.  I pray for strength and wisdom.  I pray that God knows my prayers before they leave my mouth, or are formed in my head.

I pray for my family members and extended family.  I pray for my friends though I haven't heard from them since the cyberattack and cell phone hacking and Facebook.  Please God, you know my needs.  I thank you for giving me life so that I may find happiness.  Give me wisdom and healing and thank you for the miracle of life.  I pray for morals and values, honesty, respect and acceptance in our communities and the world we live in.  I pray for our children who will inherit the world we create for them.  I pray for our economy and coexistence globally.  It's been a long time since I felt blessed and highly favored among women.  Return my blessings and double them.  I pray for my employers and coworkers and ask for knowledge and teamwork and respect of our unique talents and abilities.  I pray for my clients.  I ask for health and safety and knowledge.  I ask for blessings for them and strength.  I ask for their courage, strength, ease of pain, memories, stamina, and I pray for their families to find support in their efforts.  I pray for their doctors to have answers and solutions for their situations and needs.

I pray that you take my resentment towards those that have hurt me, used me, falsely accused me or intentionally caused harm and harassment.  Help me forgive the lies and injustice against me.  Lord I pray for our lawyers to fight worthy causes and be honest and fair.

Rainy Daze

Today I miss my daughters.  It's raining here.  My feet are stiff and there's a dull ache in the top of my back.  I peer out the window at the tiny raindrops that landed on the glass.  Slowly two small beads of rain slide down the glass as I just stare in a daze, remembering my daughter telling me once that in the car on drives to the Carolinas, she would watch two raindrops slide down the glass as we drove and pretend they were racing.   I used to play in the rain with soap with my girls.  Outside we would go, lathered up and dancing in the rain wild and free feeling it pelting against our warm flesh.  We would laugh and sing and stomp in the mud with bare feet, burying our toes in the sandy soil.  It was so much fun.  To me the best part was coming in and peeling off soaking wet garments, usually a slip or simple dress.  We would wrap ourselves in warm soft towels and feel fresh and dry.  My oldest would act like a wild bird....

My Prayer For Today

Image
God, I am so thankful for all the blessings in my life.  I'm thankful to wake up and feel the breeze brushing my skin and the warm caressing of the sunshine on my face.  I appreciate the opportunities this day has brought me.  I will try my best to not dwell on one hurtful  thing or one physical discomfort, but leave it to you to handle in your own time.   Please God be with my children and loved ones.  Let them feel my heart and know my love for them.  Be with the people that are harder to love, or don't love me.  They are probably hurting Lord, and are the ones that need to be loved the most.  Amen  P.S.  I sure would like a little fiest dog.  A small to medium size mutt.  Something that feels thrown away and needs to be nurtured.  Ebenezer Rouge needs a new friend.

The Pressed Roses

Somewhere in one of my books, probably in a box, is an old pressed rose.  Maybe two pressed roses.  They are from Damon and I saved them all this time.  I wonder how many people still press a flower in a book for sentimental reasons.  I also have an old scrapbook with a pressed boutonniere, and small corsage from a time of promise and possibilities.  A time when everything was new and the possibilities for the future were endless. I suddenly wish I could see it, and gently rub my finger across the weathered, dry petals.  That velvety smoothness of days long ago now, that seem like yesterday or maybe the day before.   I'm not living in the past.  I'm longing for the happiness those days brought me.  I'm no longer longing for people and things unattainable, but for the joy of that era.  I long for love and happiness.  I long for a peace of just knowing there's someone and something I can count on just being.  That source of ...
