Our father, who's Art and heaven,
holy is thy self.
My king's coming home
Thy will was done
on earth through family prayer.
Give us this day
more reason to love Thee.
And forgive us our doubt
for Thou art beyond doubt.
Lead us ever closer to Thee
and lift the veil of our ignorance.
For Thou art the Eternal,
Whose majesty is revealed
in each of Thy children. *
*My dad (Arthur-86 and in fine health) was hospitalized on Thursday night, quite suddenly. He could not swallow, and consequently could not eat or drink, because his epiglottis was open, and whatever he would have ingested would have gone into his lungs instead of his esophagus. He was put on IV fluids only. After a battery of tests, where all results were negative (they wanted to rule out stroke, neurological issues, etc.) the otolaryngologist determined the problem was caused by a severely inflamed larynx, and dad was able to eat and drink today. While deep in prayer this afternoon, (before I knew he was going to be all right) the phone rang; it was my brother Adam calling to tell me the wonderful news. I wrote this now in utmost thanks.
