Lord,
During this Easter Season we celebrate that not only did
your lay down your life for us,
but that you rose from the dead.
And it is in rising from the dead that so much was changed.
act of kindness are shown by your children to
people who need human touch.
We are able to show love to others in practice and deed.
We celebrate this resurrection power that is all because of
you.
Lord
A year ago tornados ripped through the lives and communities
of Alabama,
Leaving in its swath a path of death and destruction.
Lord those people are still rebuilding, still healing and many
are still traumatized.
Help us as the community of faith to not forget them,
to continue to reach out to help them rebuild and renew
their lives.
But Lord Alabama has not been the only area hit with damaging
power of nature :
there have been major disasters everywhere.
A kids soccer ball showing up on the west coast of America
reminds us that there is still lots to be done in Japan,
And it reminds us of other countries who are still
recovering
and that it is taking a long time due to lack of resources.
Lord these people need our prayers, our help and our care.
Lord, these people need a Shepherd, a good shepherd.
They need one that knows them, loves them,
cares about them, comforts
them and has compassion for them.
Lord,
Truth be known we all need you as our good Shepard.
Will you be our good Shepard?
Amen
