Prayers Please

By gartenfische | March 31, 2008

We
bloomed in Spring.

Our bodies
are the leaves of God.

The apparent seasons of life and death
our eyes can suffer;

but our souls, dear, I will just say this forthright:
they are God
Himself,

we will never perish
unless He
does.

-Teresa of Avila

Please pray for my beautiful friend yogamum, whose dad, Mike, died last night after a bout with lung cancer. They were very close. Pray for her in her grief. And for her mother, and her children, and, of course, her father.

Here is a moving post she wrote last week about spending time with her dad in these last days. She truly did give him the gift of her presence.
