Life is too short ! How do you choose to live each day? How would you like to be remembered?

Dear Family of Love,

Happy Take Care Tuesday! I hope all is well with everyone who reads Walk With Me On Our Journey and that also goes along with your loved ones too. Today I attended yet another funeral of one who died too soon. 52 years old is too old. Life is getting shorter by the day and we must all realize that our earthly life is finite and our life in the Thin Places are eternal. How do you wish to spend each day of your life and if you left this mortal coil how would you like to be remembered? Start thinking about it. I would hope that I would be spending each day of my life making a difference and being the loving person God has made me to be. I would hope to be remembered by my kindness and love to all and that I didn't succumb to hate, bigotry, and injustice. I would hope that  we would all begin to ask ourselves how we wish to be remembered and how we are choosing to live each day of our lives. How do you choose to live each day of your life? How would you like to be remembered? What are the words other family members use to describe you? What are the adjectives and verbs  would God  use to describe you and your life?  These are tough questions that need time for thought and purposeful consideration when you'd like to take the time to do it. This is our challenge for the remainder of the week. .Tonight we enter a time of holy silence and a virtual labyrinth walk in order to care for ourselves.  

Take your time, breathe, relax, and unwind. If silence is too much you may play any kind of music you'd like.

Today is the Feast day of St. Clare o Assisi and we will begin our prayers with the prayer dedicated to her. 

O God, whose blessed Son became poor that we through his poverty might be rich: Deliver us from an inordinate love of this world, that we, inspired by the devotion of your servant Clare, may serve you with singleness of heart, and attain to the riches of the age to come; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

God we pray that we may find balance in our lives and choose to live our lives the way you'd have us do.

God we pray that we may not be remembered for the things we had but the lives we lead and the love we gave.

God we pray for our family members who have died that we may live up to their legacy with steadfast love and purpose.

God we pray that the words you use to describe us may find their way into our hearts, minds, and souls and that if we must modify our lives we may do so with grace and purpose.

God we pray for all the hot spots in the world and in our nation that there may be peace on the earth.

God we pray or all of our family members who are the least of these as they remind us to serve them as St. Clare did.

God we pray that we may practice good conservation skills to preserve your Cathedral of Life.

God we pray that we may leave the world when it is our time to journey into the Thin Places better than we found it.

God we pray this day for________________and give thanks to you for___________.  Accept these our prayers in the Name of your Son Jesus. Amen.
