Lullaby's
A silent drive took place between Pete and I tonight, as we went to smoke our pipes. We sat long in thought asking what one another was pondering, always getting the same answer, "ah nothing". I sat a long time trying to get my pipe to catch, having to empty it and re-pack it. I took three or four good draws, and as I watched the burning embers in my pipe Pete spoke out. He said something implying that he was stuck in a predicament, not knowing what to do. I sat a while, taking the occasional draw on my pipe as did he, watching the embers burn and seeing the smoke seep out the top of the pipe, it is always something so interesting to me. After sitting for a moment in silence, I began to speak out something of the same, realizing I really don't have any money. Before this I thought to myself, "man Pete needs prayer". Not until I needed it did I vocalize the point. So I begin to pray and Pete is just talking, and then looking at him I realized God is here with us. So we both began to talk to each other and we talked with God as well thanking him and praising him and just knowing and realizing how much we both need him. The more we talked the more at peace we were, it was like a gentle lullaby luring us to sleep. This sleep, however, was with our King and being able to sleep in peace knowing he is here and will never give up on us, and never leave us.
