Dear Family of Love and Pilgrims on our Journey,
Tonight we pray in place because my body is a tad bit tired from my trip to Los Angeles yesterday and back today. Today I had the joy of being with my Daughters of of the King family. It is a joy to have a big and ever expanding family that includes you. Being family means true acceptance and being flexible when things aren't always smooth. Last night I almost didn't blog but I decided that I should and once I did I felt peace and joy. Let's have a time of praying in place and remember I pray as I write this blog.
Dear God we give thanks for the Joy you bring our time of prayer together whether it is on pilgrimage or in place.
