HoME


A prayer for anyone who pauses to read this...



Prayer For Home

~Fernando Ortega~


Grant them peace, most precious gift of all, keep the worried world far away and small.


When they return may quiet fill their souls.


Dearest Lord, keep them safe within its walls.


May the stone be cool beneath their feet, the canyon breezes circle soft and sweet.


When darkness falls the stars and opal moon find them wrapped in each other, ever warm.


May it be a refuge for their love, a harbor for their deepest prayer.


May they come to flourish in the grove, grow ever nearer to you there.


Many a burdened friend in their company rises.


A heavy heart is soon released to fly.


May their table be blessed with laughter and with grace, and by the comfort of kinship be surprised.


May the cold winds blow far from their front door.


May the winter rains never bring them harm.


May their hearth fires burn throughout the night.


Grant them sleep until morning's perfect light.

Are you feeling better?

Hi....again!
go to google.com
click maps, click get directions, write new york in 1st box, London in 2nd box. That's how you get to London, but look at #24-very cute!

I had the privilege of hearing Fernando in person. In fact he led worship for an Anne Graham Lotz conference. He is just absolutely amazing and his piano is something else--it's NINE feet long. But his talent is nothing less than amazingly God-given

Thank-You Maudie Mae! Fernando is sweet indeed. He has played at church a few times ... his songs bless and calm and encourage a tired heart so often!
