I meant to post yesterday. I even had it ready to send. I just … forgot. For a good reason.
My favorite aunt, Beth, is in the hospital and was put into hospice Tuesday evening. I have been figuratively holding my breath and waiting. I’m spending hours at her bedside and nearly every waking moment thinking about her and praying for her. Blogging just didn’t make the cut. I know you understand.
I’m told she slept peacefully through the night. I will go back to sit with her later today, but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to post again. I pulled up what I would have sent yesterday — and found that it is exactly what I need today! God is so, so good.

Lord, help me to live this day,
quietly, easily.
To lean upon Thy great strength,
trustfully, restfully.
To wait for the unfolding of Thy will,
patiently, serenely.
To meet others,
peacefully, joyously.
To face tomorrow,
confidently, courageously.
Francis of Assisi
