As I look out my kitchen window the snow lays like a beautiful blanket on my lawn chairs and chaise. The tree has “cotton ball“ snow decorating it, for me to enjoy the beauty only God can create. How blessed I am to see such beauty all around on this day that the Lord has given me. He’s given this day to you as well, so please enjoy every moment.
I feel today to urge everyone to say The Lord’s Prayer. You will find it in your Bible in Matthew Chapter 6 verses 9 to 13, or in Luke Chapter 11 verses 2 to 4.
I have also sent it to you in picture form as well.
I ask you to say this prayer every time you think of what took place here in Nova Scotia on April 18 and 19th. As peaceful and quiet communities try to understand, we are left in a state of shock. Our hearts will forever remember those who lost their lives and the families and friends left to mourn. All Nova Scotia mourns, we stand together, as we lift up each one who is carrying a heavy burden. We ask God to send His peace and comfort through those who stand beside you in your grief. And please, let’s not forget those who were called out in the line of duty to help protect so many, during those frightful hours. Their minds contain pictures within them, that may never be released fully. They need our prayers as well, lots of prayer.
May peace and comfort flood our minds and souls as we pray in the words Jesus gave us in The Lord’s prayer.
Remember “with God all things are possible”, (Matthew chapter 19 verse 26) and with God each person will heal, trust and love again. In time forgiveness will come as Jesus said, in the prayer:
And forgive us our debts
As we forgive our debtors.
This forgiveness allows us to live in the fulness of God‘s grace and brings joy to our very soul.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
