I’m not a bible-thumper by any stretch of the imagination, but I do find that I have so many friends, relatives, strangers that I keep in my prayers everyday….

We have so much to be thankful for in our lives.
Let’s be grateful for what we DO have in life and pray for those around us who struggle….
I too am not a huge religious person. But I pray for many things as well! Thank you for your post! Whether you know or not, you pray for me alot as many of those things relate to me. Please have Sara in your prayers! Mark left this morning and the next couple days with be really really hard for her.
You gals are in my prayers for sure. Do your best to be there for Sara as I’m sure she needs you now more than ever. Give her a HUGE hug for Michael and I and tell her that we’re here for her when she needs to talk.
I pray for my friends who I know are struggling but won’t say it out loud…
I pray for the people who used to be in my life but no longer are – just because we had falling outs or it’s overs doesn’t mean I don’t still care…
I pray that my family and friends find Peace with themselves, Happiness in life, and Love…
I pray for myself – that I’ll continue to make wise choices, not just fun ones…
I pray for humanity in general that the suffering is lessened, that the good apples outnumber the bad ones and that it stays intrinsically good…
All very good prayers.
there is nothing wrong with being a bible thumper, rose:) love ya!
Oh I know that – I’m just not really one of them….
I don’t know if I would use the word “pray.” I have trouble feeling the presence of God, at least in a Christian sense – it’s more for that reason that I’ve chosen to abandon my Catholicism (for now, anyway), than the politics (though, the politics ARE a biggie for me …). The only one I pray to is St. Anthony – because, for some reason, it works.
BUT, I do think about these things, keep them in my thoughts, wish for better times (or continued good times). I think it’s probably the same idea … maybe some WOULD call it a form of prayer. I don’t know.
