I know the pain of this change in life. Finding our way through it takes the encouragement of others, time to just 'be' whatever it is we need to be, and moments that remind us how blessed we are. I pray for your journey to be eased and fully supplied during this time.The Haltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14399203797561705090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085279937039671159.post-6085604884814912142011-12-02T21:23:10.811-05:002011-12-02T21:23:10.811-05:00We are told to pray always.

Or with repeating prayerish words over and over. Or staying on your knees. I think that Heavenly Father wants to see us weaving an awareness of the beauty and complexity of life - of connections through love - of his shower of beauty, almost every second falling all around us like a heavy snow. I think that when your life is lived gracefully - awake and aware, hopeful and grateful, that is constant prayer. I could feel it in your words. If I were rich, and heaven knows I am not, I would send you home. I wish I could. I truly do.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040714440875408436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085279937039671159.post-5493281195274981842011-12-02T14:53:53.521-05:002011-12-02T14:53:53.521-05:00So sorry to hear about your dad--how strong and br...So sorry to hear about your dad--how strong and brave of you to be able to go straight to prayer and not linger in fear. I struggle with the same choice of choosing to live far away from a family I care deeply about. I often wish we could just fold the map and bring everyone closer together. <br />On a lighter note, I absolutely loved the pictures (especially the flip into the water!)--a very welcome blast of heat and light on a cloudy, cold day here. <br />I'll be keeping your father in my thoughts. <br />~In love and light~Catiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732862256676641316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085279937039671159.post-83803395529795491992011-12-02T13:31:32.228-05:002011-12-02T13:31:32.228-05:00I've only just discovered your blog a few days...I've only just discovered your blog a few days ago. How poignant your words are to me today, as I am struggling with being on a separate continent from my mom as she suffers in the hospital. Wonderful reminder to try to bring myself to a perspective that can bring peaceful satisfaction to our lives.
