Prayers for the Headlines, Monday, January 24, 2011

Good Morning, God
Lord, you see them, just as some of us see them, walking along the highway with their dogs.  Doesn't seem to matter how cold or hot it is, either, there is the man and the woman and the two dogs.  Most often, the man and the woman are carrying something that looks like it was just bought from one of the stores along the way.  Rain, snow or shine, it seems that this couple is always out for their walk and purchases.
Lord, this couple will probably never be in the headlines as such, but only in this headline prayer.  Lord this couple may be like many others around town - taking daily strolls, buying just what they can carry home, sharing life with the beloved pets, sharing life with each other, sharing life with anybody with whom they come in contact.
Heavenly Father, how blessed are we when we can share life with someone - a store clerk, a partner, good neighbors, fellow coffee drinkers, those who gather to do some community service.  Lord, bless all of us each day who travel life's highways and byways, keep us safe and give us someone or something to love and share life with.
In Jesus name, Amen
