“May every sunrise bring you hope. May every sunset bring you peace.” (Native American blessing sent by Kitty) I also see hope and peace between the sunset and the sunrise; therefore, I can pray at bedtime: ”Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.” So, whether we live, or whether we die, God is with us and we are with God. The cycle of birth and death - hope and peace! ;-) Jack

I thought it was strange (but sort of beautiful) when I
heard “thy love stay with me through the night and wake me with the early
light”. As a Child, I never thought twice about praying, “if I die before I
wake”===JACK: I wonder when we first become aware of "dying?" A pet? A family member? The first dead person I remember seeing was a neighbor's mother..in a casket''in a funeral home'
FROM QUILTING CAROL: When our children were little, we used to say a prayer similar to yours at bedtime. The kids didn’t like the thought of dying during the night so we started praying this:

I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Thy love stay
