Blue skies, cool breezes, and different scenes to pray and see along the way! Don't forget it is You Matter Monday!






Dear Family of Love!

Happy You Matter Monday with lots of love from me to you!
How many of you took steps outside and got some exercise and fresh air? I hope everyone is doing some kind of exercise. Today I walked a grand total of  8.44 miles a little shy of 9. Walking is the easiest thing you can do and by adding prayer walking you can have a fit body and a fit spirit at the same time. Walking at different times of the day can give one a much needed boost and differing perspective when one walks and prays. Jesus and his disciples and many others are our role models when it comes to expanded prayer walking and ministry. We minister to our family members not  only with our prayers as we prayer walk but with our kind words and smiles. I never look away I always smile and look at our family members in their eyes. This is my recognition of them as Children of God and seeing God in their eyes.  Tonight let us keep our meditative thoughts on those keywords: Endurance, Faith, Courage, and Resiliency !  When we pray tonight let us slow down and meet God in every word we pray and say. 


God infuse our bodies, minds, and spirits with love and compassion for our family members with whom we disagree.

God infuse our bodies, minds, and spirits with strength and good health so that we may boldly stand for the least of these our family members and do justice, love, mercy and walk humbly with You O, God of Love.

God infuse the bodies, minds, and spirits with your healing  power to all of our family members who are ill and suffering from any illness either chronic or short term. We pray for all newly diagnosed family members and those especially having surgery. 

God infuse the tender emotions of all who grieve the courage to mourn boldly and with the knowledge that it is ok to go through the grieving process and not to have please others and look happy and be expected to back to normal.

God infuse the leaders of this world with the knowledge that peace is the only way and that wars, violence, terror, and injustice serve no one. May peace prevail upon earth. We pray that we may be united in love and not divided by hate.

God infuse those who care for children the knowledge and courage to be real caregivers who will protect and keep them from harm. We pray for an end to child abuse in all of its forms.

God infuse all women with courage to get out of violence and abusive situations that they may find safety and make with confidence sensible escape plans. We pray for all women's and children's shelters.

God infuse our lives with love, peace, hope, and joy!

God infuse our hearts with love, mercy , and compassion to pray and give thanks for________________ 

God infuse our bodies with strength so that we may live healthy lives and practice good habits.

Jesus we thank you and others for being good role models of prayer walking, justice, love, mercy, and inclusion. We give thanks for your dying on the cross to save us once and for all and that we no longer need to fear or be ashamed. All these our prayers and thanksgivings we lift up to you in your most Holy Name. Amen.
