Hard Prayers

How do we pray when God's will seems so strange to us?

I have been struggling with a situation many of you know about.  Just a few weeks ago the lady was so vital, and alive, and hopeful.  Just a few weeks ago she was praying for others.  Now she lies in a hospice bed, comfortable but unresponsive; and each day seems to bring her closer to meeting Jesus face to face.

I am calling this "The view out my window" largely becasue of this picture.
       If you have had children or grandchildren I trust you know the experience of seeing things differently, almost like for the first time through their eyes.  In this picture my grandson and I happen to be seeing birds in that way. 
       I hope that  the dialogue  created in this blog will help us to see things in a way we have never seen them before.
