A
reminder for today
Hear
my prayer, O LORD! Listen to my cries for help! Don't ignore my tears. For I am
your guest—a traveler passing through, as my ancestors were before me. (Psalm
39:12)
As I sit here writing to you I feel once more the need
for more of Him. The Lord has been with me more than I could ever imagine in
the last few months and I am so in awe of the wonders of His hand in our lives.
It has been a huge privileged to spend some time with my parents on the farm
and I must admit that the boys enjoyed it so much. It is a huge event in their
little lives to go to their grandparents on the farm. What caught me this
weekend is just how quickly time passes, I am amazed at how my boys are growing
up but in the same sentence I am saddened to see how my parents are getting
older. I realised looking at them getting older that I am only a traveller here
passing through and the funny thing is that I more than anyone else knows that
my time here is limited and that all our lives will eventually end, but for a
moment there I was just sad. I guess every time I leave that farm I know that
there is something of me that stays behind and I wish it could always be like
that.
Oh Lord hear my prayer as I bring us all before you
today. Listen to our cries and please do not ignore our tears. Let us travel on
our journey today and let us pass through safely. Let us spend more time today
loving and giving and less time arguing and quarrelling over little things. Let
us feel your presence more today than ever before and Lord please just hold us
tightly in your hands and give us peace and confirmation that all will be fine.
Lord be with us all, those stating off and those getting closer to the end. Lift
us up and hold us close so that we can feel your heart and hear you voice as it
softly relaxes us and let your warm embrace be a wall of safety that will keep
all evil away from us. I pray this for all of us in the name of Jesus, our
saviour.
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
