A Father's Prayer

Somewhere among the stars, she wanders the foothills of Kilimanjaro, an adventure of a lifetime, she and her best bud and mate. Camping in the open at twelve thousand feet, every moment is breathless, every action requires effort. I delight to think of what she may see what new perspectives she will gain from such lofty heights far above the madding crowds. And I wonder how she will process the world when she returns, no longer an explorer; just a wife, mom, doctor, with dinner to cook and daughter to bathe. God, show her the extraordinary, open her heart to the impossible, that she might encounter You there, and tuck you snugly in her heart, returning home to experience all the highs and lows of daily life while hiking the hills of Kilamanjaro with You.
