Dear Lord; Yesterday the Family and I went for a long walk in Blackbird State Forest. It was a beautiful day, and we spent the time collecting nature items for Shannon’s students and taking photos of the bountiful life around us. In that serene, magnificent setting in the company of those I love, I felt Your Presence all around me, and knew I was truly Blessed. Amen. ~Phather Phil
Dear Lord; Today my thoughts and prayers go out to some friends who have been dealing with a number of emotionally charged situations as of late. These are very good people, and they’re very much in need of a break. Please wrap these people in Your Loving Arms, and give them Comfort knowing that You’re with them. Amen. ~Phather Phil
Dear Lord; On this rainy Monday morning my prayers go out to those in the area that have suffered damage to their homes or been hurt by the flooding we’ve had. While my family has been spared so far, I’ve seen the pictures and have friends that have been affected by this damaging weather. Please let them feel the Comfort of your Presence, and Protect them from the rains to come. Amen. ~Phather Phil
Dear Lord; The rain this morning somehow appealed to me. Although the skies were dark and heavy, for some reason it felt like the air was clearing and the Earth was being cleansed by the Heavens. I find it remarkable where I feel your presence sometimes. 🙂 Amen. ~Phather Phil
Dear Lord; This morning I just want to say Thank You. The list of things I’m thankful for is long and diverse, but you know my heart and what’s contained therein. Although life has been quite tumultuous as of late, through all the ups and downs I’ve felt your Hand and it provides me the comfort and focus to see things through. Thank you for your Presence in our lives. Amen. ~Phather Phil
