Greetings Dear Reader,
One of the ways in which I try to constantly pray is that I
speak to God whenever I hear sirens. I
pray for the welfare of all involved. I
ask for safety for the emergency personnel.
I thank God for the safety and health in my own life.
It is interesting that my brother has just started a career
in emergency services. I noticed that
without thinking about it intentionally I have added thoughts for his safety
and his skill to my “siren prayers”. I credit the lack of needing to plan it to
the practice of constant prayer.
So much of the time I take for granted how good I have it. The few times in my life I have needed
emergency help it has been there. What I
have needed as brief encounter is a lifestyle for them. When they are working someone is dying or
going to jail. Someone is in danger and
sometimes so are they.
The thing that must be true about me is that I must be
thankful for those who serve in this way.
I must constantly be aware of the needs of others. Praying for those who serve when the sirens
go by is a way to keep my mind where it should be.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

When I first became a Christian and I lived with my grandma she taught me to always pray when I hear a siren and it's a practice I've used for over a decade now. However, I've never used to as a reminder to be thankful for my own health. I love the idea!
