Say a Prayer
Often, we might see someone who appears unsmiling or looks grumpy. Yet, we don't know what's going on in their life.

It was my first climb up Mt. Hood. It was hard. More difficult than I ever imagined. We'd purchased the equipment we needed to make the climb. Walked through the aisles at Andy & Bax, purveyor of used outdoor equipment to save money. I resisted buying a new backpack and told my husband a borrowed pack would be fine.
I've been reading about prayer this week and learned how the Apostle Paul prayed for people in the Colossian church.
Even during a difficult time when I begin my prayer with praising God and thanking him, something changes in me.
When you are young, you can’t wait to get older. When you are older, you realize you aren’t getting any younger.
I encourage you to go to the One who can give you peace and comfort in your time of need.
A long time ago, I would do a lot of hiking and mountain climbing with my husband Bill. We also would climb rocks--big ones--for "fun." He enjoyed that much more than I did but one climb I'll never forget was one clear, spring day more than twenty years ago now.
Their eyes met and their love intensified even more.
How often to we do give thanks when we ask?
There have been many times when I've cried out, "I can't go on! It's too hard!"
