Fireworks on Marathon Morning 5:00 a.m.
Yes, God! The Honolulu Marathon is tomorrow! Less than 24 hours away. Please take good care of Kit! Keep him safe and well — and if he places in his age group, even better! But, most of all I want him safe. Hm. Cool would be really nice — good running weather. Or is that asking for too much? It feels as if we should keep our requests small — as if we are rationed and if we waste it on small stuff we won’t have any left for the BIG stuff. But, what if YOU WANT to be ASKED? Asked to HEAL and CLEANSE and FORGIVE?
Thank you, God, for yesterday and the conversations — and prayers — the sacred spaces. Hearing and Speaking in YOUR invited presence is an incredible JOY! You are always present. But there is something tangible in Your Invited Presence. It makes me feel as if YOU get JOY from being INVITED IN to HEAL and HELP. Of COURSE YOU DO! It is Your NATURE.
So, right now, here, I invite You IN. After a request for tomorrow and a thank You for yesterday let me BE in the NOW. Kit is stretching in front of the TV and I have on headsets and I’m listening to the sound of rain — rain that falls on the just and the unjust — a sign of Your LOVE and CARE. So, here I am lifting up family and friends — one by one — for help and healing. WHAT? Start with myself? Start and END with myself? That’s NOT piggy, but humble and real? And I hear You say, YOU NEED IT! Wow! You really do WANT to heal and cleanse and help! So, please God, here I am — help me hear You saying — go back to bed. Rest and REJOICE. NOW!
Story teller,
A Moment with God
