Happy Sunday: Hard Truths Edition

Let us pray for the people who are suffering.

Let us pray for the people who have lost their homes.

Let us pray for innocent men, women and children who have been murdered by twisted and spoiled fools.

Let us pray for those who have been harmed or killed by the acts of liars,  deceivers and self serving manipulators of the people’s trust.

We all know  about someone, somewhere, who is suffering from a grave and unjust loss.

We all know about a serious  wrong that has not been righted.

We all know that an act of nature cannot be concerned about human life.

We all know that the great works and best hopes of many people can be dashed into rubble with no notice and no warning.

Let us never be so arrogant and foolish as to claim that natural disasters are the wrath of God, even when they strike a concentration of  big mouthed people who are than willing to attribute God’s wrath to natural disasters… in other places.

Let us pray for all of the people who are suffering, no matter where they live or whom they may be.

Happy Sunday

Sometimes we have so much that we forget to pray  

Sometimes we have so little that we forget to pray  

Sometimes we are in such balance in life that we forget to pray  

Sometimes we lose our faith and we forget to pray  

  

   

A woman said one day   

That she had a mustard seed  

A mustard seed of faith  

That tiny speck of faith  

Had carried her  

Had carried her so far  

  

Sometimes we have so much that we do give our thanks  

Sometimes we have so little that we do make our pleas  

Sometimes we are in such balance in life that we pray even more  

Sometimes we pray that we do not lose our faith  

  

   

Jesus  said one day  

That one of a mustard seed  

A mustard seed of faith  

That tiny speck of faith  

Would mountains move  

And carry us so far  

  

  

  

Sometimes we suffer large and we do make our pleas  

Sometimes we suffer long and we do give our thanks  

Sometimes we are so balanced that we forget to pray at all  

Sometimes we pray just to let us talk to God.
