It's Take Care Tuesday! Time to take care and feel peaceful and calm.

Dear Family of Love,

Happy Take Care Tuesday! I'm still giving my wonky ankle a rest. Today I felt wrapped in your love and prayers since this was Dad's first year in the Thin Places. I felt my loved ones' presence today as well. There haven't been a lot of tears either just the lovely knowledge that Dad was and is safe and secure in the arms of our loving God and having a blast with our family members and his buddies.
As I am sitting here writing this blog with my feet up and with my warm blanket I feel peaceful and calm. How many of you have ever experienced a peaceful and calming time during times of stress and the grieving process? I think we all deserve moments and times like these. Don't you? So tonight to borrow the words  of the song let's have " a peaceful easy feeling" in our prayers and in our meditations. Don't forget that it is Take Care Tuesday and it is time to take care and feel peaceful and calm.

Let's begin with listening to this, I call this Musical Surprise !  Sit back and relax and pay close attention to your breathing and heart beating. Listen to God calling you more and more deeply into relationship and feel God's loving presence enfolding you with warmth and joy.

Now let us meditate on our life's journey and the path that we find ourselves on at this present moment:  Won't you Walk With Me On Our Journey? Can you hear God calling you to walk the path of life God has set your feet upon? What does it feel like? Are you afraid? Remember have not fear and do not be afraid!

Now set your feet up on this  labyrinth using your mouse!  When you enter the center stay there and listen for God's still small voice and be in prayerful conversation. Let God do the talking and you do the listening.

God we thank you that in times of stress,grief, anxiety, fear, and disillusionment we can and do have times of peacefulness and calmness. We pray for these times always especially when we are facing life's challenges.

God we thank you for the journey of life you have placed us on.

God we thank you for the lives of loved ones who have entered your presence in the Thin Places. We remember by name our own loved ones who have died________________

God we pray this night for all of us who are on grief's long journey. 

God we pray for all of our family members who are ill in body, mind, and spirit.

God we pray for sound governance and peace in all nations of the world.

God we pray for and end to all acts of violence. 

God center our beings with you this night so that we may find rest when we feel weary.

God help us to listen before we speak and to speak lovingly and with your guidance.

God enfold us in your loving arms when we feel lonely and insecure.

God heal tired feet so that we may walk with you on the journey you have set before us.

God we pray for justice, equality, universal human rights, and inclusion. 

God help us to love courageously and unconditionally without limits and with perfect joy.

God may we have loving hands, feet, and hearts to serve the least of these our family members.

God may we add our own special prayers of intention and on behalf of our family members,  and thanksgivings________________

God we lift up our prayers in the name of Jesus your Only Son. Amen.
