Good morning, God
Dear God, some of us are feeling very old these days! The headlines have been about our entertainment heroes reaching the end of their lives and dying. Lately, Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Chuck Brown, Donald “Duck” Dunn, bass guitarist for the Blues Brothers, just to name a few that some of us would remember – and these just in the month of May.
Lord, these people have made perhaps world headlines in their deaths. We have our own local deaths that make the headlines. We even check to find out if we are among them, Lord. Sorta tongue-in-cheek, but sorta seriously, too.
Your know, Lord, sometimes we do feel like we might not be “alive” anymore, like life has passed us by, like those who have brought music and joy to our lives have gone silent. Yet, Lord, you give us fresh new days as long as we take breaths. So may this day and these breaths be filled with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity and self-control for our sake and yours.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
