 Greetings!
In January, I had the privilege of offering the invocation at Kim Field's promotion ceremony held at the Pentagon. While waiting for an escort to lead our group through the halls, I purchased a small snow globe of the Pentagon. I don't usually buy souvenir items, so I wasn't sure why I was getting it. It now sits on my bedside table. Whenever I look over and see it, I am reminded to pray for Kim and all the others who work at the Pentagon, and those who serve in the various branches of the military. My prayer is simple really: that their work will lead them to be peacemakers in the world. I don't pretend that I have answers to all the big, sticky questions and conflicts in our world. All I know to do is hold all of them in the light of God's mercy. Sometimes I need visual reminders like the little snow globe. My own world view can often shrink down to my own experience and I forget that God's view is so much bigger. What reminds you to pray? |
