Family Crises

My daughter in London has had a tonsillectomy and lymph node biopsy to see if her lymphoma has returned. Another daughter and her 13 year old are going to London tomorrow to help with the 3 and 6 year old boys. We stand together as a family and pray.

God within me, God without,
How shall I ever be in doubt?
There is no place where I may go
and not there see God's face, not know
I am God's vision and God's ears
So through the harvest of my years
I am the Sower and the Sown
God's self unfolding and God's own.

From a tenth-century gravestone,
St. Lars Church, Linkoping, Sweden
