Good Morning, God
Lord, the resident in the nursing home repeated her words three times in that forty-five minutes again the other Sunday. She said "God answers prayers in the morning, God answers prayers in the afternoon, God answers prayers in the evening, so keep your heart in tune". She also tells that she gave her heart to you at the age of fourteen, and "guess how old I am now?" Yes, Lord, she is still 94!
Lord, thank you for the way you often let our brains think about and remember such things that keep us from dwelling on the difficult parts of our life. Thank you for memories of you that span even 80 years or more. Thank you for giving us such faith that we can see beyond sound and sight to the places where we feel safe in believing and saying "in life and in death I belong to God". Heavenly Father, always care especially for the widows and widowers, the cared-for and the care-givers, and those who are near to your heart and those who are afar off.
In Jesus name, Amen.
