The Second Adventure

Today, I walked along 1st Street SW and zigzagged the streets between Linden and Pierce, south of 1st Street SW.  There are some really neat homes in this area.  I really liked the hobbit shaped doorways, and the Bavarian stylistic touches.

This neighborhood is a mix of single family homes and large apartment complexes.  My dog and a small girl had a great encounter, involving a large slobbering kiss and an infectious giggle.  A young woman with the girl looked tired and harassed.  I hoped that the girl's laugh had done at least a little to lighten her burden, whatever it was.  I prayed Christ's Peace on them.

I saw signs on doors that said "Caution, Oxygen in Use."  I assumed the people in these homes were likely older, but as I neared the hospital, I realized that age aside, many of them may have been living close to their care center.  I prayed for healing and rest on these homes.  I stopped at an intersection to pray the Lord's Prayer.

As I walked along the North side of Mercy Medical Center, I prayed that those working, recovering and dying within its walls would experience calmness and rest in the midst of their hard experiences.
