Feeling like dancing, singing, and praising God! Today is Happy Dance Day!

Dear Family of Love and Pilgrims on Our Journey,

Today I have walked twice and each time I keep feeling like dancing, singing, and praising God! Today is Happy Dance Day! We have made it! Today it makes a week since I had surgery and I can't believe how good I feel. God has returned me to light walking and my body that is healing to the world, and the journey as a pilgrim of God's Good News. I'm thankful that God for this because I never knew where I'd be last week. I must admit that yes, I did have a lot of fears, worries, and what ifs going in to surgery a week ago. I even entertained the great what if, "What if it was my time to enter into eternal Joy and Light?" Then I felt God's abiding presence telling me to "Be Still and Know", "Do not let your heart be troubled", and many of the God's special ingredients  for calming, comforting, and anti- fretting elixir. The elixir  was the love, the prayers, the support, and comfort from God and all of you holding and seeing me through things. For the remainder of the week I'd like us to wrap our lives in God's trusty arms and not be worried, tense, and stressed out. We need to trust, people! We need to have faith! We need to let go and let God do the driving while we are looking out the window of the bus and seeing all of God's Cathedral of Life. God is our safe harbor and we need not fear anything at all.Take a look at the following pix from today and you'll know that God who is constantly providing a daily art show is always loving, merciful, and full of compassion and grace. 

Dear God help us to know that you are always present just like the Sun is, when it is hidden behind the clouds.

 Help us to see the beauty of your Cathedral of Life where ever we are.

Help us to remember who our family members and neighbors are (Remembering they are nearby, stranger, and yes even our enemy)

We pray that we never hold grudges and let the sun go down on our anger. Help us to make peace and forgive those who have wronged us today and we also ask you to forgive our mis-steps and mis-deeds.

 Help us to comfort our family members who are in any kind of  trying circumstance and may we be loving comforts of your sheep.

 We pray for all political hot spots of the world and for responsible media and reporting. We pray for sound governance ant all levels. We continue to pray for all those at Fort Hood and those who mourn the loss of loved ones. 

 We pray for all those who travel and pray that the infrastructures may be made safe for all

 We give pray for safe drinking water and  we pray for rain and all of our family members who are in the paths of dangerous weather patterns.

We pray for all children and especially that they may have safe routes and transportation to and from school and that they may be taught by loving and compassionate teachers who will foster their imaginations  and a desire for learning.

 We pray that even when our life's path veers a different direction we may be assured of your abiding presence and love. Help us to know that you are already there ahead of us no matter what.

We pray for an end to violence, cruelty, and abuse of any kind committed against your creation remembering Especially animals, women, children, the LGBTQ community, and those who are victims of human trafficking.

We give thanks that we were able to walk and feel your presence this evening and know that we are always in your precious and loving arms. We lay all of our prayers, thanksgivings, remembrances, and celebrations in your arms this night and place all of  our worries into the Sabbath Rest box and entrust everything to you God. God help us to remember that you have taught us to let go and know that you are forever in control and don't have to worry but be joyful and at peace. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
