Uncertainty of Life


oving God, the hope and protector of all humankind; bless those whose loved ones are missing. The agony of not knowing whether someone is living or dead is a daily torture. The uncertainty of life's future relationships hangs in limbo. Hope rides a roller coaster. Yet each day must be lived. Give unto your people the blessing of your grace that they may face each day with courage and hope. Guard their families from further danger and harm and hold them in the blessing of your love. Amen.

Loving God,
 the hope and protector of all humankind; 
bless those whose loved ones are missing. 
The agony of not knowing whether someone is living or dead
 is a daily torture. 
The uncertainty of life's future relationships hangs in limbo.
 Hope rides a roller coaster. 
Yet each day must be lived. 
Give unto your people the blessing of your grace 
that they may face each day with courage and hope.
 Guard their families from further danger and harm and hold them in the blessing of your love. Amen.

 "Prayer at its highest is a two-way conversation --
and for me the most important part is listening to God's replies."

A Life of Gratitude

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. Johannes A. Gaertner To live a life of gratitude is to open our eyes to the countless ways in which we are supported by the world around us. Such a life provides less space for our suffering because our attention is more balanced. We are more often occupied with noticing what we are given, thanking those who have helped us, and repaying the world in some concrete way for what we are receiving. Gregg Krech Explore This Website

“Only if you’ve been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.”  Richard Nixon “You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.”   Thomas Merton Explore This Website
