Dear Family of Love and Pilgrims on Our Journey,
Today was an emotionally packed day and I couldn't get over all of our family members' love and concern for me. I felt like I was wrapped in holy love from head to to and inside and out. This is how we should be with each other no ifs, ans, or buts, about it. Today I received many warm hugs, greetings, and lots of love and support from my parish family. Today I received a beautiful prayer quilt and prayer shawl from on of our DOK chapters. I was brought to tears and have been emotionally touched throughout the day because of their generosity and love. As we travel this journey together let us remember that we are all in this together as one family, not many. Let us wrap each other in a beautiful virtual prayer quilt or shawl so that we can all feel God's warmth, love, and protection. Every day we must pray for and love one another. I invite us all to reconnect with the Holy, each other, and yes even find it in our hearts as God has commanded us to do and love our enemies and do good to those who hate us. These are gifts we can give God and give each other. It's time to live with an open heart to love, serve, and to the richness and diversity in our entire world which includes everyone and everything. As we will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day tomorrow please take time to look at these prayers: Tomorrow you will receive the prayer cycle and mini walk.

Good Night Dear Family Of Love may you have a blessed rest and if you can remember this prayer from the BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER it will help you to unwind:
In the Evening
O Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadows
lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is
hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done.
Then in thy mercy, grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest,
and peace at the last. Amen.
Remember tomorrow is You Matter Monday, #MoralMonday, and don't forget to #JustSayHello! These will make your life more meaningful and in the lives of others. I love you and you Matter.
Love and with a mind at peace and a deep connection with each of you,
Sara
