Praying w/ Val, My Third Child

My third child, Val–he’s now a dashing man of 29– slept over. Before leaving early this morning, we prayed together thus:

“Dear Lord thank you for this rare chance of sleeping together with my son in this home where the children grew up. And thank you for helping us get up with our faculties intact, with us capable of continuing with our dreams, with the strength and resources to pursue them.”

Mom: “Continue to cover my son with your mantle of protection and hugs of love and affection that he may feel your presence wherever he goes, whatever he does and make him feel he is always loved. Touch him with your healing love, every part of his body, especially his eyes and pancreas...and his soul... and bless him with the power to do what is right for himself, for his associates, friends, loved ones and all others..”

Val: “Amen”
