Grant me patience, God,
when my computer
updates and restarts.
Grant me patience, God,
right now!!
Remind me, God,
that like a computer,
I sometimes need to update,
to expand my thinking,
and increase my knowledge
to help me function more effectively.
Remind me, God,
that like a computer,
sometimes I need to turn off,
to rest, to renew,
and to love myself that I might
love you,
love your beloved children,
and love your wondrous creation
more faithfully.
In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen.

Gracious God, I thank you.
I thank you that I was able to take
a long walk today, pushing Lucy in her stroller.
I thank you that we could walk in safety.
I thank you for all the many times Lucy
turned around to look at me
and say “Hiiiii” in a loud voice.
I pray that every grandchild and grandparent
might have the opportunity to take such walks
or engage in other activities freely and safely.
May that day soon come.
Oh, and God, I could use a hand
with some aching muscles.
You know which ones they are.
Amen.
