Keeping the Faith Friday once again with thought and prayer

Dear Family of Love and Pilgrims on Our Journey,

It's Keeping the Faith Friday Fearlessly and without Fretting ! Once again we are here on another Friday evening where we are privileged to pray and be on pilgrimage in place. Today has been a mixture of many things my dad is getting older and needs to be on one more drug and then have some more heart tests! At 90 years old! I received word from Dr. Vachhani's office that he wants to see me on Monday at 9:00 a.m. Not sure what that means but I'm at least a little bit scared and on Keeping the Faith Friday Fearlessly and without Fretting no less. I feel all of your prayer juices and love at work so as the old phrase said "What me worry?" I do worry but know that I have to stay in the now and not get ahead of things. Sometimes it's a bad thing to have a mind full of medical knowledge. So this weekend I'm putting all that knowledge into what I used to see on an old computer FILE NOT FOUND or Perpetual Clipboard! So dear family let us pray and pilgrimage in place.
******************

Let's begin by closing our eyes and breathing deeply the Spirit of God. Keep breathing. Listen to the sounds of your house and if you can listen to the sounds of God's Cathedral of Life Outdoors.

Take time to rest, relax, refresh, and renew your bodies, minds, and spirits.

Now Take a look at this picture and reflect upon it!

Or this one!

Now begin to pray and think about what each one of these images are saying to you. Take time to place yourself in these pictures are you walking with Jesus down the road? Running to meet Him?
Staying a few steps behind like a pedestrian Zacchaeus waiting for Jesus to call you to walk with Him? or are You being carried by Jesus lovingly in the light and feeling his love, mercy, and healing grace filling your spirit to the brim and overflowing? 

Now slowly begin your prayer list there won't be any long form prayers tonight. Remember the word  those may be replaced with for our family members

Please remember the following:
Those who work outdoors in inclement weather.
Those who are traveling in the rain, ice, and snow.
