Haiku My Heart




Lonely waterlily
So beautiful and fragile
Hope for the future


Tomorrow two young men will be ordained here in the diocese of Evansville.  Much like this poor waterlily in a pond that needs tending, these young men will be entering into a life of servitude where tending the garden of souls may be fragile, but oh what hope there is in the future.   They must never relinquish that hope.  Pray with me for them and all those how have answered the call to serve in the order of  Melchizedek.

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!!!

Cathy

  5. I just sent a prayer through the heart of Jesus for the young men. We had 3 ordained just last week. I will send the directions on how to do the small color spot from PicMonkey in an e-mail.

  7. Wonderful haiku to accompany your photo.
    I have a small pond with water lilies and just one bloom right now.
    Your haiku will be in my heart whenever I see it
    and in future years with future blooms.
    I also liked your Bible vs Cell phone post.
    Glancing at your About Me section, I realize we are "neighbors".
    I live in a rural area outside Mooresville :)

  15. Any man or woman that carries the spiritual load of others deserves prayers from us. One prayer thanks The Creator for listening to the prayers of the people, and another gives thanks for listening to mine.

    Peace
