Dear Family of Love,
Tonight it is all about prayer and being together as a family. We have yet to go thorough another tragedy with our family members in Paris. We find ourselves getting angry over senseless and overarching acts of violence. None of this is making any sense for any of us. We keep trying to make sense of it but it is still too raw for our emotions. We must wait to make sense of it all and make sense of how we feel So tonight I invite us to place our worries and all other things that are making our lives difficult into our traditional Worry/Sabbath box as we always do on Keeping the Faith Friday Fearlessly Without fretting. But first let us sit for a period of our own choosing and calm our fears, selves, and anything else that is upsetting our bodies, minds, and spirits. Take time to let go of these things and offer them up to God so that we may be released to go deeper into the center. let us rest in God's loving and abiding presence.
Tonight's Meditation Music:
Tavener -Song For Athene
Barber -Adagio For Strings
Faure- Pavane
Faure Requiem
Lakme Flower Duet
Tonight I Ask special prayers for Paris and a time for us to become the truly loving family of God we are meant to be.
Prayers and a rant in heartache. From the blog A voice was heard,,,,,,,,
How long must we be faced with the deaths of our innocents? How long must our family members endure torture at the hands of governments, tyrants, and extremists ? How long must we see and hear these stories of murder, abuse, terror, hate and injustice on a daily basis? How long will it take tor so-called Christian people to wake up and see what they are saying and preaching is against the Lord and Savior they are supposedly following? How long O, God ? How Long? How long O, Jesus? How long O, Holy Spirit? How Long?
Let us with God's help:
Stand with the people of Paris, Lebanon, Beirut, Baghdad Ferguson, Staten Island, Sandy Hook, Sydney, Peshwar and all places where violence is occurring on a daily basis.
Not be complacent but actively engaged in fighting injustice everywhere.
Stand up for what is right, just, and merciful.
Stand up against violence, terror, torture, and abuse of any kind.
Stand up and practice peace and be God's peace makers.
Stand with refugees, captives, victims of violence and abuse, victims of modern slavery and human trafficking, our undocumented immigrants, LGBTQ sisters and brothers. We all our family !
Love God, Family members, and ourselves.
Stand up and be light bearers to your fragile and broken world.
Stand up for universal human rights for all God's Children.
Stand with each other and not against each other.
Stand up against extremism in all its forms.
Stand with the least of these
Stand with the voiceless ones and those who are crying out and seeking to be heard.
Stand with the vulnerable.
Stand with God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as bringers of love, peace, joy, and hope.
The light of Christ in me recognizes the light of Christ in you!
The God in me Loves me Loves the God in you!
The Holy Spirit who comforts me Comforts you this day when things we can't explain and gives us heavy heart.
Will you Stand with me? Will you love one another? Will you love your enemies and do good to those who hate you? Will you continue to walk with me on our journey?
