My Aching Head & Prayer for Peace 031305

Woke up with an excruciating headache today. Gee I am hoping that it goes away quickly today since I am going to spend 24 hours at a DVSA (Domestice Violence Sexual Assault) shelter today helping those victims out with their needs and keeping an eye out for them in order to make it as safe a place as possible.

I love my work that I do there...it is just with an aching head, I am praying for a quiet day there.

Pray for peace in the world today, this Sunday morning and throughout the day. Pray that no other victim of domestic violence is seen today in any hospital. Pray that no other child witnesses or becomes a victim of domestic violence today as well. Pray that people will get along for a day -- I will take just a day at a time, which is easier than praying for a week, month, or a year when it would seem impossible to dream or pray for that many days in advance. Please pray that you won't be a witness to a friend, neighbor, or someone in the community being a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault (this is more common than you may realize. If you haven't already been affected by DVSA in some manner, you will, at least, hear about it from someone soon.)

If you do nothing else today, pray and start a chain of prayers for these victims today. May God wrap his ever loving arms around you today and bring you peace. Amen.
