Question: do you pray with your eyes closed in concentration or with them wide open in wonderment? While they seem to run counter to one another, one narrowing the field and the other expanding it, both are essential in this thing we call prayer.
Won't you open your eyes with me?
#661 a new great-nephew and a family name extended -- Hank Cannon
#662 bloom in the desert
#663 men and women who dedicate their lives to the development and advancement of medicine
#664 that God has delivered me from the dominion of sin and death and brought me into the kingdom of His Son -- EVEN when my actions don't line up with it
#665 a downy woodpecker on the pine outside my window
#666 strawberry fields
#667 a praying mayor
#668 baby birds in the wreath at the front door
#669 a husband's joy
#670 that God is present in our ordinary human experiences
#671 the first cardinal of the morning -- bright red
#672 the momentary breakthrough of a sun ray after days and days of rain and cloud cover
#673 an older gentleman bowing his head and saying grace at Burger King ... alone
#674 lone cornstalk flower's morning worship
#675 home remedies passed down through the generations -- like buttered and toasted soda crackers
#676 a sweet daughter-in-love's overnight stay = JOY
#677 an unexpected spring return
#678 one squawky protective mother bird
#679 lingering rain drops
#680 "Nannypoo" -- a daughter's love language that makes this mother smile
Amen.
