The Power of Prayer

There are so many different ways to pray.  As many as people on the earth. Everyone has their own way to talk to God...which is what I think prayer is.

When I talk to God, I'm usually asking for guidance, or to look over someone I'm worried about, or sometimes just to thank Him for a good day. Sometimes I yell at God, especially when I don't understand how or why something happened. I think all that matters is that I am talking to Him.

I am praying without ceasing and I never really knew it. The only thing our creator wants from us is a relationship. Prayer is the communication of that relation.  Sometimes, I neglect my relationship with God.  I forget about it. I think I have all I need right here on earth. Then something happens and I am reminded that I don't have it all.

Most of the time, I don't even have it all together. Then it happens, sometimes it is a good thing, like a beautiful morning on the lake, or a bad thing, like waking to a smoke alarm.  Regardless of what it is, it fulfills its purpose when it helps me to talk to God again. It gets me to pray. And my spirit grows stronger.

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
