God Almighty,
Thank you for the sunshine. It's cold, but it's beautiful. Keep Ashley warm. Help her to eat enough and to get over her cold and her chemo cough.
Thank you for the beautiful garden that is taking shape at her place. Thank you that some of our friends are such gifted gardeners. It takes a lot of love or talent or both to create a garden. I think both, because as much as I would have loved to help, I knew it was better not to try. But thank you that she can enjoy the gifts of great gardeners and great friends. Thank you that Ashley's plants are prospering. Bless the new ones that are coming for the new garden, and help them prosper in the new soil.
Help us all prosper in the soil of uncertainty, fear, and confusion. Help us find nurturing soil that allows us to grow strong roots. Bless Ashley and Al and Sunny, that they may feel the sun's warmth and the warmth or the love and care of their friends.
Amen
