Settled Down – – NOT

Tonight has been one of those nights when I am dealing with problems too big for me to know how to handle.  There are some very mixed up people in this world and my daughter seems to have them as roomates.  Then I have to help her deal with the consequences – very tiring because I can’t do much over a phone.  It is a very mixed up situation and I don’t know that I can handle it.  And I thought things were settling down on that front.

Anyway, when I can’t handle things at least I have a God who can.  Sometimes I just wish I knew what he is trying to do!  Help me to be patient God and trust you to take care of all the junk that seems to be raining down on my world right now. 

God,
I know you are with me,
And her.
Even when she doesn’t know
That you are.
Protector,
Like a thicket hedge
Surround my child.
Keep those evil forces out that would
Destroy her spirit
By sheer frustration.

God,
Her life has not been
An easy gift.

But a gift it is.

Soaring

I had a big procedure to do this morning.  It went well and I was done in time to sneak home for a short lunch break.  On the way, and it is just a few minutes to my office, ( I can walk it in 20 minutes ) I was surprised to see an eagle soaring above the river.  I don’t think we have them this close to town that often.  Huge black wings with white tail feathers – magnificant to see.  On my way back I am taking the camera but I don’t know if it will still be around.
