Prayers for Rachael ~4

 
    I am thinking about Rachael this morning. Jesus should we visit her?
 
   This time she is in an activity room and there is lots happening around her. But when she sees You she smiles so big. There is such delight and recognition in her eyes. You sweep her up in Your arms hugging her close and laugh at her delight in You. How can You not? I want to be part of it so lay my hands on both You and her. 
   You set her down and she takes off running but we are all running and it is on fresh green grass, no thistles or rocks or worries. We run simply for the joy of it until we come upon an ancient tree that towers so high above us.  Lying down on our backs, we look up through the branches. The greens around us are startlingly brilliant. Rachael comes over and sits on You. You give her an airplane ride and she laughs and laughs. Then You tuck her under Your arm and we all take off into the sky. We go high into the clouds and it is fresh, damp and quiet we glide effortlessly through them and come down by a stream. Immediately we roll up our pant legs and soak our feet in the running water. It's so nice to feel the cool water running over them. 
   We then lie back and watch the clouds from here... Seeing shapes that become pictures. You start telling stories,  real ones and we see it take place in the clouds .We are entranced by Your words and voice.  The pictures we see playing out far above our heads hold us equally in rapt attention. We never want You to stop. We sleep. Such a pure rest and are now back in her room...

   We hold hands over Rachael, praying for her. You Jesus, are her protection and delight, You are hope and love.  You are what is good. I love You, I thank You.
