Me:  Are you relaxing in the sun?

 

Prodigal:  Yep, I am enjoying the feeling of the sun on my skin.

 

Me:  I was just reading about enjoying the “son”.  Enjoying Jesus our Savior.

 

Prodigal:  Share with me

 

This is a poem from Teresa of Avila

 

Thine am I, I was born for Thee,

What wouldst Thou, Master, make of me?

Give me death or give me life

Give health or give infirmity

Give honor or give obloquy

Give peace profound or daily strife,

Weakness or strength add to my life;

Yes, Lord, my answer still shall be

What wilt Thou, Master, have of me?

Tis Thou alone dost live in me.

What wilt Thou I should do for thee?

 

2 Corinthians 1:3

 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort.
