Good Evening Dear Family of Love!
I hope everyone is having a meaningful Self-Care Saturday and All Saints Day! Today I attended the DOK Fall Assembly at Prince of Peace Woodland Hills, It was a glorious day and the air smelled like it had been given a holy cleansing by the rain. It was nice to see a few rain drops on my car's windshield as I drove home. I was given the privilege to see three rainbows and these rainbows all had staying power that kept holding steady. A truly beautiful and inspiring sight. These rainbows were giving us a message of promise that God is still in control and not us. God still reaches deeply into his pallet that reminds us each and every moment that we are here on God's Planet that his hand is continuing to create beauty in our lives and that we only have to look. Where did you see and find beauty today? Where did you see and hear God today? What things touched your hearts today? Where did God call and lead you today? I think these questions are where we need to focus our meditation on! Meditation changes our brain chemistry for the good. and is good for all that ails us. Please take out your timers, meditation apps, and your favorite music today. Here is today's selection: Vaughan Williams mix
God of Creation, we give thanks and celebrate all that you have made. Give us a tender and compassionate reverence for all things living.
God of Creation, we thank you for the rain and pray for more so that the drought parched areas of our world may be cleansed and healed.

God who walks with us on our daily journey, may we follow where you lead and may we walk hand in hand with you and when we need it may we feel you carry us in your arms.
God of all gentleness, may we always remember the vulnerable, especially children, elderly, the least of these, and all others who are the tender ones.
God of time and space, help us to become acclimated to the time change. Help our bodies, minds, and spirits adjust.
God we pray for all who travel. May they have safe journeys.
