Dean's Prayer

Dad’s Prayer:

My Lord and my God,

I desire always and am here only to do your will.

I am what you’ve made me.

Thank you for your love

and the love of everyone you’ve given me.

By your freely given grace alone do I function.

Teach me Love, Humility and Compassion.

Forgive me my abundant sins.

Help me overcome temptation and though I miss the mark,

guide me back, help me climb,

lift me up into the outstreched arms of your supreme sacrifice.

Know I am striving to rest forever in your love,

and grant that my striving is emough.

Amen.

(Dean White)

Note:  Dean  crossed over to glory land on September 1st, and is at last free from the pain of cancer he battled for two years.  It was such a pleasure to get to know Dean over the past five years.  He stayed at our home in 2007 for two weeks, helping insulate our new house and helping build our porch.  Since then we had some contact and saw him a few times when we were out West.  He was an example of love in action and word, and I am so thankful our paths crossed. I am thankful that his family shared this prayer that Dean wrote, and may it be the prayer of my heart also.
