SMOKE ON THE WIND

August 31, 2005 Rev. Thomas Dancing Feather Ebbing 0 min read

Did you ever hear anyone say, “All we can do now is pray”?‑ It is better to start each day with a gratitude prayer.‑ If you don’t believe you have anything to be grateful for, it won’t help you to go shopping and to hear someone say, “Thank you.‑ Have a good day.”‑

Well, now hear this:‑ You are being prayed for, and you are being cared for.‑ Look around you.‑ See and feel beauty this day, and rest assured that it is for you and for me.‑ It is here to stay, for I have prayed for you, you have prayed for me, and we are having a glorious and blessed day.‑ All we can do now is pray ‘Thank you’ prayers
