I begin a journey today, perhaps in deeply unsettled weather. A journey north, carrying a large doll house to a child, which is the main mission, and in hopes also of seeing my brother Ronald alive, for he is dying in a place far from where I will deliver the child’s small-world, happy gift.
Dear God, protect me and my companion on my journey. See to it that my small dog does not miss me too much. Help me to arrive safely and for the miles ahead not to be over stressful. And where my brother Ronald, who has suffered so much on his recent journey, give him comfort. Your will be done in all things.
Amen.
