Just praises this morning for the wonderful ways that Jesus is actively present in our lives.  He is riding with my daughter as she travels, and was with my grandson who traveled yesterday through nasty storms.  He protects my son in law each trip he makes on the trains, and my son on the lake on the boat.  I count on him to guard my son on his bike who is training for a run in the fall, and I will look to him to make straight his path then, as well.  Each day I am thankful that there are angels watching over my toddler grandson, who is active beyond our ability to keep up, and will need God's blessing to resolve all that energy before school in a year or two.  God has made a way each time we thought our financial expectations had failed. And he continues to feed us and provide a roof over our heads.  The birds continue to grace my deck with their beauty and song. And I am thankful for the mental and physical rest from scarey and unpredictable things.  I am basking in the joy of the Lord. Just praises.

You are precious to me, dear God. I am so in love with all the ways you are present in my life. Continue to minister to me, as my Heavenly Father, The indwelling Holy Spirit, and my wonderful Lord of Lords and King of Kings, Jesus Christ.  One God, who presents his love in every way that I could possibly need your presence and grace. Become real to someone who does not know you today.  And to all who know you but struggle with knowing how you are working in their lives, open their eyes to your presence and love. In Jesus name, AMEN
