Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
A purple sky gradually taking on the coral, rose and gold tones of the break of day — what a spectacular sight to behold. Since I was quite small, I have cherished the soft warmth of a sleepy awakening nestled under the protective covers of a new morning. It is where the day before has been put to bed and the new day awaits to be discovered. Hushed stirrings of hope and a renewed resolution to seek a will other than my own. Where my heavenly Father has my undivided attention, and discernment takes shape in the freedom to surrender any preconceived notions of completeness.
