Good morning and happy Friday, today is a beautiful day, the clouds are beginning to break a bit and the sun is forcing its way through. I pray your day is the best of the best!
In prayer this morning, I asked God to continue to bless you with his love, his peace, his calm and his comfort. I ask that you pray with me for those who have lost loved ones this week and for those who are standing by as their failing, frail, loved ones watching as they pass through the veil.
Father hold us in your arms and keep us safe from harm, keep us on the right track and help us to always see the light of Christ. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
