I Pray For You

I pray brilliant sunsets to remind you of God's vibrant love.

I pray sticky Popsicle-fingers around your neck, on a warm summertime day, followed by a fruit-flavored kiss from tiny lips of your child, grandchild or great-grand child.

I pray smiles, giggles and roaring laughter invade the monotony of an everyday kind of day.

I pray the gift of God's love be brought to you so that you can touch the height, width, depth and length of His great delight in you...hopefully to experience Him and lavish on others.

I pray love be showered upon you in rainbow flavors, a subtle yawn just as you drift into a sweet
slumber, or the nostalgic feeling you had when your newly welcomed
child made their first whimper, or the enormity of the emotions when
you uttered the words, "I do" at an altar, the robust taste of  mountain top sunsets, the sweetness of a comfortable rocking-chair evening where the warmth caresses you and reminds you of those who have gone to heaven before you.

I pray the love that leaves perfumed notes on a loved one's pillow, the bright red lipstick heart drawn on a steamy bathroom mirror and the extra cupcake packed in a lunch pale to be indulged or to be shared.

I pray knock knock jokes with no fancy quip for a response.

I pray fuzzy slipper slumber parties where every child needs to get home so they can slumber, and messy homes that have given way to sharing one more story to an eager innocent face.

I pray chocolate to soothe that boo-boo on the knee, or the tear-streamed face of a broken puppy love . . . or chocolate for chocolate's sake.

I pray that you pen that book buried inside you and realize, now is the perfect time to take the trip that you salivate over when you see it in a magazine.

I pray ease in the midst of chaos and peace where tragedy has hit.  I pray huge love when a heart is wounded and a warm hug when loneliness appears. 

I pray for JOY in your every breath of every day and God's fellowship 24/7.

I pray that nothing will steal from you what God designed in you...if you wonder what that is, look in the mirror and know that He created you for a purpose bigger than you and that the Master artist planned your fingerprint, eye color, height, weight, build, shoe size, before you took your first breath. 

I pray for you.
