"Who pardons all your sins, and heals all your ills, Who redeems your life from the pit, and crowns you with mercy and compassion," Psalms 103:3-4
I enjoy people watching, you witness all kinds of things and in a way you enter their life for a brief moment. Watching a friend make his faith walk home to His Father, can be torture. You see the struggle with self to face the realities of life's choices. Do they continue to die of thirst or do they go to the well spring of life. We all know someone like that, that struggles to return home. Who knows what holds them back but it is a spiritual battle. What we can't see is heaven and hell fighting for the prize, their soul. Heaven offers peace on earth and hell offers torment. I made that walk, I have stood on both sides, Peace in the Fathers arms is so much better. Come back home, it is no fun to watch!
Dear Father, You stand with open arms to embrace Your prodigal son, ease his walk home. Give him or her the grace to see the treasure that awaits them. You are loving God who knows all of our sins and You yearn for their return. Grant peace and patience to those watching and living with them in that walk. Thank You God for all Your blessings, I know this isn't heaven but there is great peace in living with You on earth. Amen.
Mary, Queen of Saints, pray for us.
