MirningPrayer Friday

Good Morning God,
   Another day here in the neighborhood.  The children seem happy, school has begun. The gardens are rich in tomatoes. The peach jam is lovely in the jar. Sometimes we seem bubble wrapped in our selves. It is hard not to notice, the pain of loss and illness and suffering of others. It is hard to ignore the hurricanes and drought. It is difficult to pretend that  war has ceased and villages are not in rubble. So, we don't ignore and we don't pretend. With your help, God, we attend to ourselves as best we can and we reach out hands of compassion in our thoughts of love, as best we can. Have mercy on our world. Mercy. AMEN
