The end of the journey

Father, I thank you for allowing my eyes to be open this morning to see you. Please open my heart to hear what you have to say to me. Please open my mind to the possibilities you have for me. Please grant me the fortitude and courage to follow through.

I ask that you watch over those 3 little girls while I am here with you. Let them rest in a peaceful sleep until their bodies are refreshed. Help me guide them today to be respectful young ladies who know how to have fun.

Thank you Lord for asking me to bring my family to you. What a marvelous experience it has been for me.

Someone asked me why I just didn’t pray for my entire family every day, and doing this is not to say I don’t. There is power in naming a specific person in prayer, not only that you hear that prayer, which I believe you hear and answer all our prayers, but that I think and ponder things about that person that perhaps hadn’t come to mind in years.

Like the day for Kathy. I hadn’t thought, until that day, that she has been gone longer than she was alive. And I didn’t realize I still had some things to work through with her too. That day gave me some tears but many more smiles as I remembered my big sister. Prayer truly is an awesome gift!

Father, thank you for the family you have blessed me with. So many times we forget that those you have put in our lives are a gift from you, help me treat them as the treasure they are to you and the gift they are to me.

Please bless this entire crew, and all their spouses, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all generations to come.

Lead us all and guide us in your ways, and on the paths you lay out for us. Father, please put people along those paths that will point to you. Help us to seek eternity with you, in your loving arms.
