NIGHT PRAYER: Friday 7/21

I'll be taking a red eye back to Boston on Sunday night so

I'm beginning to experience those end-of-my-time-away

vibes!  I've been pleased to invite you to join my in prayer

during my time in Colorado so please join me in this prayer

and beautiful song this evening...

 

My Colorado time is winding down

so I'm walking 'round Georgetown 

soaking in the summer sun,

the pure, clean mountain air

and the simple, vintage beauty

of this valley's pure contentment...

    Georgetown, CO by CP

 

You've drawn me, daily, Lord,

to Clear Creek's rushing waters

and its bridges, my prie-dieux,

where I stop and pray each day,

my grateful heart awash

in nature's grace and glory...

I'll leave with videos and photos,

and prayer posts on my  blog

tracing how you've kept me company

these lazy, restful weeks

when every day has been a gift

and each hour's been a joy...

But my heart will be the suitcase

where I'll pack up all these blessings

and take them back to Wayland

to sort through and enjoy...

 

There I'll sit with you in prayer

and remember all we shared

in summer's sun and beauty,

'neath the the craggy, steepled peaks

of this chapel of your presence

by the creek's clear, gushing font...

Send your Spirit, Lord, I pray,

and seal within my heart

all the blessings, joy and healing

you've laid upon my soul:

may I hold them there in gratitude

for days and months to come

until we meet again in Georgetown

where I know I'll find you home...

 

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

    and watch over me while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

    and asleep, rest in your peace...

 

Amen.

 

Tonight's song beautifully captures my love

    of this part of the country...
