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
Dear Lord; My prayers this morning are focused on a good friend who was in a car accident today. Please help Heal his body and spirit, and provide Loving Comfort to his family throughout this ordeal. Amen. ~Phather Phil
Dear Lord; Last night, I received the nicest complement yet on my Phather Phil blog. My son Jonathan heard me talking about the site, and asked what it was about. I told him, and he asked if he could read it. He spent the next half-hour pouring through the year’s entries and happily announced “That’s really cool! I have a Dad that emails God.”. I’m still smiling about it today. Amen. ~Phather Phil
Dear Lord; As a large part of my Spiritual Journey, I’ve worked hard to leave myself open to seeing and hearing You in new ways and places. This morning, Your Voice came to me while listening to my kids singing “Don’t Stop Believin’” in the back seat on the way to school. Thank you for that morning visit, and the smile. Amen. ~Phather Phil
Dear Lord; This morning my prayers go out for my Son Aidan as he fights what appears to be a nasty sinus infection. Please give him peace and comfort to let his mind and body rest, and send your healing energy that he may feel better quickly. Amen. ~Phather Phil
