Dear Father,

   You bind our wounds.  For it is written: “I have overcome the world.”  It is through You and by You that we see beyond our present being.  What is of the world stays in the world.  What is of You is beyond this world.  As we walk with You with renewed eyes, we also shall see beyond.  In the shelter of Your love we learn that passing is reaching our destination, that minutes are eternal.

   May the reins of our hearts always be bound to Your ways. May we see the joy and the peace in looking beyond.  

   Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice.
