Middle East prayer

God, please guide the leaders of the US, Israel, Iran, other middle East nations, Europe and any other nation involved with this war. I know that some travellers have got stuck in the Middle East due to the closures of air space. Help those travellers to get home. Protect civilians as this war continues.

I want to ask You to bring our troops home safely but I think I should pray for the well being of all combatants. They are all fighting because it is what our governments have ordered them to do. In other circumstances, they could be friends. War sucks for everyone involved.

Please reassure everyone involved in this war that you are with them. Please bring peace to the Middle East. I just want the suffering to end. Amen.

I collect coins from foreign countries. I like to be able to hold things from all over the world.

This is my next entry in the photo a day challenge for the American Cancer Society. Yesterday’s photos were a thanksgiving for being taught to read.

Blessing Bowls

This is day one of the daily photo challenge with the American Cancer Society. My church is on the second Sunday of lent. As part of lent, they put out two blessings bowls. I couldn’t find much on the practice on Google but I am excited by the idea. I like to give people stuff but I am too shy to do so. This is why I enjoy painting rocks and leaving them places during the better weather seasons.

What would you give if you had the opportunity?

Here is my Facebook announcement.
