Good Evening Loved Ones and Pilgrims on Our Journey!
I can't believe it has been since last Sunday I did an outdoor prayer walk and went on our pilgrim journey! It's true! I have missed the outdoors and God's Cathedral of Life! Just getting outdoors clears the head and lifts one's spirits! Tonight I felt God's presence with me as we were walking on our journey. It is amazing how sometimes all one has to be, is rested to feel the indwelling of God's spirit within us. I'm grateful to God for this week of low level activity and the peace it has brought to my body, mind, and spirit. Give yourself permission to enjoy a low level activity week or day. You will find rest, relaxation, and a refreshment of your body, mind, and spirit. Tonight you will get to have a complete photo pilgrimage of tonight's walk along with prayers. Take time to pray in the silence and reflect on your week. I love you and give thanks to God for you always.
Love, joy, and with a body, mind, and a spirit at peace,
Sara
Listen to this first!
