Let us walk humbly with God and tread lightly upon holy ground each day that we live, move, and just be.

Dear Family of Love,

Happy Sabbath Rest and Self Care Sunday. I hope everyone had a blessed and restful day. I took a Whole Holy #3 prayer walk tonight. It was good to be back on the route and yes I even walked by the gun shop too. I got in a good time of prayer and renewal. I came to the conclusion tonight that daily we are faced with the reality that wherever we walk it is holy ground and that some of the places we see along the way are not so holy. On my prayer walk route we now have the gun shop along with the Spearmint Rhino a Gentlemen's club. So I  walk by places of concern. What does that mean to me and ultimately us? It means we must be more dialed in with God than ever and realize that we could have flashes of anger and upsetitude. Upsetitude you ask? It  my new word that means the attitude of being upset. God calls us to replace this anger and upsetitude with love, mercy, and humility. We must walk humble with God and tread lightly upon holy ground each day that we live, move, and just be. Treading lightly means we need to show God's Cathedral of Life and our Family members respect and honor. The love we must show all of our family members and God's Cathedral of Life  must come from our Heart Homes without condition but with Love Energy. The Love Energy must empower our feet to be set upon holy ground with purpose that will result in positive and life giving change that will bring peace, justice, love, mercy and inclusion without conditions. No quid pro quos here only love, service, and spreading the Good News with open and expanding hearts and heart homes. We as the Children of God must walk humbly with God and see the good in all people and yes, even our enemies and those who wish us harm. We must make and see each day as an opportunity to be open to all that God is offering and showing us through them and the least of these. We must see each day as a new beginning in which to try and try again without fear and anything else that seems difficult. We must take and make each day a holy day in honor of God and the whole universe and this world in which we live, move, and just be. So dear ones get out your shoes and let us Walk Humbly with God and tread lightly upon holy ground each day that we live, move, and just be.
