As the sun rose this morning the clouds began to take over the sky....now there's just gray. There is a gentle but strong breeze blowing through that makes a whistle through the kitchen window and the wind chimes sound like church bells.

It's been 24 hours since I lovingly cradled in my arms and kissed you on the head and rubbed your belly one last time. My heart yearns for you Aspen.

Dear God in heaven,

Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.

And when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus' example -- to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will.

I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, cir%%stance, or situation greater than You. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly..

Father, take care of Aspen as you have Pepe, and those that came to you before them. It is with great sorrow, but understanding that I understand that death is simply the release of the soul into your hands. Please purify my soul to be as clean as those beautiful creatures that you sent to watch over me in my hour of darkness. Purify my soul that I may one day be worthy of joining them in your place of paradise....Where there is no sickness, pain or hunger...only unconditional love and the mingling of the hearts of all those that we love.

Give me the strength to bear this cross.

This is my prayer.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Very well said and heartfelt Adam. The only I can send back to you is that I also share in your faith of our Almighty God that he will provide everything we need because Jesus promises us so.

What a beautiful tribute to your precious Aspen. Your expression of your love in your words to her say it all.

Much love to you.

Amen, Adam! I know that you will be okay.

Amen.
Never has it been spoken better.

It is through the death of my soulmate that I finally realized the power that there is in the lord's prayer, I especially find soothing the 'thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven'. I truly feel that we must be humble enough to accept life and the gifts it brings, no matter how few or short lived, and live it as well as possible , not always easy but it does help to repeat that prayer. More importantly to live by the words in it.
