Finding Holy Balance from head to toe! Caring for our bodies, minds, and spirits so that we can care for our family members lovingly with compassion and grace

Dear Family of Love!

Happy Take Care Tuesday! I hope everyone was mindful in taking care of themselves. Taking care of number 1 is key to being able to serve God and our family members at the same time. We are not let of the hook by any means . We must remember every day that self-care is what makes us have the Love Energy that we need to be productive citizens in the Kingdom and Kindom of God. Each day I see more and more people who aren't skilled in taking care of themselves and by extension others.
So we need to go back to basics and eat well, sleep enough, exercise, and use our prayer muscles. We must try to seek out a balance for holy living. This balance is always from head to toe, inside and out, and all around us. What have you done today to keep yourselves in holy balance? Take time to mull this question over as we meditate in either silence or with musical accompaniment. I'm letting you off the hook with our breathing exercises and Mindfulness+5 this evening. If you should choose to do them you may but we need to switch it up a notch and be varied.

Here is the optional musical selection: Conferring with the Moon- William Ackerman

What did you find?
What does this phrase mean to you: Caring for our bodies, minds, and spirits, so that we can care for our family members lovingly with compassion and grace? I'm not going to give you the answers that is for you and God to find out together as you go deeper into the center.

Now let us have a time of prayer combining petition and silence. Let us take time for silence before and after each petition and use our breathing format here.

God help us to enter into this prayer time more fully.

God we pray for holy balance of our bodies, minds, and spirits each day that we live, move, and just be.

God be with our family members who are crying out for help and that we may lovingly respond to their needs. We remember especially.
