Dear Lord; Today Lord, my thoughts and wishes fly to my son Jonathan as he heads off on an overnight school field trip. Now, he’s been away from home before but for some reason I still worry about him every time he goes off on a new adventure. Although You continue to bless us with the continued remission from his Langerhans, I still tend to be a bit on the over-protective side where he’s concerned. Please keep him in Your Loving Embrace throughout his trip, and see him safely home to his Mother and I. Amen. ~Phather Phil

Dear Lord; It’s often said that we’re our own worst critics. I know in my case, that’s usually true. With the times we live in it seems we’re constantly deluged with negative information from all sides, which can make even the strongest of us start to feel overwhelmed and beaten. Once that happens, our day-to-day tasks take on a whole new perspective, and self-doubt can creep in. Please help us focus on the positives in our lives, and to see our daily trials for what they truly are. Raise Your Blessings in our hearts and minds, and give us the strength to go forward in Your Grace. Amen. ~Phather Phil

Dear Lord; Yesterday, a FaceBook posting from a good friend started the wheels in my head turning. It said: “Happiness is a CHOICE”. While seemingly obvious, it’s really not. We all strive to be happy in this life, however in many cases that endeavor takes us directions that really don’t bring us any closer to it. Please help guide each of us to that Path of Inner Peace, so we can focus on what true Happiness really is. Amen. ~Phather Phil

Dear Lord; Yesterday the Family and I went for a long walk in Blackbird State Forest. It was a beautiful day, and we spent the time collecting nature items for Shannon’s students and taking photos of the bountiful life around us. In that serene, magnificent setting in the company of those I love, I felt Your Presence all around me, and knew I was truly Blessed. Amen. ~Phather Phil
