Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks to those of you who may have been praying for us lately.

 

The heaviness of a few days ago, when I had had enough, seems to have lifted allot. There is a sense of confidence around the corner, not fear. There is peace, not turmoil. So thanks, you are making a difference.

 

Speaking of prayer, last Friday or so, Toni left this message on the Comments:


"God bless you and I'll be back in a couple of weeks to bring havoc to your blog!"

To which I replied:


"Have a good one. We'll pray for you."

So hey, let's pray for him and his family, on holiday in Greece I believe. (Try not to pray with a covetous heart.  I know but try anyway!! :-))

 

Father, thanks that Toni and his family could take this break this summer. Thanks for blessing them with this trip. Now bless them even more with your presence. Open their eyes to see the kinds of things that Paul saw and loved when he walked those streets. Open their hearts to the secrets you want to show them, tell them the things you want them to hear.

 

Bless their day to day connections with one another with the oil of patience and love. Give them big eyes to drink in all the sights, and mouths able to taste the treats of Greece.

 

Grant them safety as they travel, and make provision for each and every need they may have these days.

 

Most of all, grant them the sweetness of your closeness. Holy Spirit, be all over them, keeping, blessing, watching, loving, uniting them as a family. And give them a sense of rest, ready to come home, ready to pick up where they left off, ready to go again, in your strength.

 

Just Bless em Father.

 

Amen.
