Heavy hearted day . . .

Today we are facing another snow storm. It's been a long winter this year. Amazing how we long for spring. I believe it is a spiritual thing. We long to see the world around us come alive. It reminds us of how Jesus has given us new life.

Beyond the weather, my heart is heavy, burdened with intercession. Our dear pastor's adult son and grandchild are missing. No one has seen or heard from them since last Saturday morning and everything seemed fine. The grandchild also had chicken pox. Now we have a winter storm with forecasts of up to a foot of snow where they live. The sheriff's office is looking for them. Most of last night was spent praying instead of sleeping. Please join me in praying for our pastor's wife (who has MS), his daughter-in-law (the wife), and her parents as well. Everyone is deeply concerned.

Dear Jesus, You know where they are. Please shine Your light on this circumstance. Keep them safe. Guard them from the schemes of the evil one. End the torment of not knowing where they are. Keep the hearts of their loved ones in a peace only You can bring. Help them to guard their thoughts from all speculations.
