Taking time for Sabbath Rest a day early! Are you in? I am! I hope you are too!
Dear Family of Love,
I hope everyone is having a good day and that everyone is practicing self-care It isn't always easy especially when we are faced with many challenges. Today I have been having main computer issues at home. I will stop tonight and work on it tomorrow. Rest is important now more than ever. I'm feeling well and happy but the chemo treatment's side effects are gradually becoming cumulative.
I hope to be back prayer walking tomorrow. Our journey is bringing us to more times of rest and renewal. I'm beginning to think that this is important now more than ever and as I have said before we all need to stop the glorification of busy, lay things down, and let go and let God. Tonight let us begin our Sabbath Rest a day earlier. Let us take time for meditation and a time of prayer. Let's go deeper into the center and take time to relax. If music isn't your thing to meditate to please take out a timer or mindfulness bell. If reading from spiritual tomes are how you center yourself please do. Tonight's music is : Tibetan Healing Sounds You don't have to do the whole 11 hours.
Gracious God we come before you tonight to lay down our bodies, minds, and spirits so that we may rest, relax, and renew.
We pray for the intentions of many especially those whom we have been asked to pray__________.
We pray for all who are struggling and in need.
We pray for all who raise money for the many important causes of the day. You may add any charity or social service agency in need of prayer.
We pray for all those who are living in the many war torn areas of the world. We pray for an end to violence and terror and we pray unceasingly for peace.
We pray for all refugees who are homeless and pray that they may return safely home.
We pray for rain and sensible weather.
We pray especially for our family members throughout the world.
We pray that we may practice conservation and that we may help renew God's Cathedral of Life.
We give thanks for the many blessings we enjoy especially___________
We pray for those who are dying and have died today that they had a loving and peaceful journey to the Thin Places.
We pray for all who mourn and that they may be comforted and that as they grieve they may have loving support systems.
We pray that we may all may be loving, giving, and compassionate family members to all and not some.
We lift up these our prayers in the Holy Name of Jesus. Amen.

Good Night Loved Ones! I love you and may you have a gentle and refreshing rest and evening. Still take time for self-care and Sabbath-Care. I give thanks to God for you this day and always.
