Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
Matthew 5:9
How many times have we gone through the motions of our day without every praying? Are we thankful for waking up? Are we thankful to have a roof over our heads, food, water, clothing, people who love us? What about the people who protect us?
We have SO much to be thankful for, and today I as that you join with me in praying for our First Responders (naming the ones you know by name). Pray for their safety. Pray for the strength and courage to do their jobs. Pray for their families. Thank God for their dedication to face the ills and evils of society we don't want to face.
I'll be honest, there are days when I am so wrapped up in what I'm doing or thinking that I don't notice the police cars, ambulances, and the EMTs who work them to save lives. Please forgive my oversight. I have become more aware and if I see a face I recognize, I will pray specifically for them right then and there. If not I will sill pray for them right then and there and hope to make a new friend.
So I ask you, will you join me?
