Dear Family of Love!
Happy Second Day of 2016, Yesterday I hit the wall and that is why there wasn't a fresh blog last evening. I have one of my barometric headaches and rest is key. I'm getting better and am thankful to God for that. I hope you all had a wonderful January 1st and enjoyed the games and Rose Parade. It's the beginning of a new year and that means more Walk With Me On Our Journey and hopefully more pictures and walks. We certainly will be having prayers and meditations as we usually do. One of our main focuses will be on Social Justice and Action in order make this world of God's a better place.
Let us strive to be more CALM ( Compassionate, Accepting, Loving, and Merciful) and take care of the least of these. Since we are in an El Nino year we are going to have to take care of each other like we have never done before. Remember everyone is family and that includes our enemies and those we do not like or get along with. So my dear family please take a moment to enjoy the quiet and go deeper and find a more enriching relationship with God each and every day. Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid to feel and get to know God, you, and our wonderful family members and the world in which we live. Tonight as it is the first Self-Care Saturday of the Year let us keep it simple and have a time of prayer and quiet.
Don't forget we have our daily virtual prayer vigils ! Let us light a candle and be at prayer:
Holy God as we set our feet out upon this year's pilgrim way may we be always reminded that life is a journey not a destination. Guide our feet and paths O, God!
Holy God help us to learn many things this year and become your willing students who want to sit at your feet to look, listen, seek, and feel your presence and hear what you are calling us to do and what you have to impart to us.
Holy God, give us courage to become your feet to spread your Good News of Peace to all our family members.
Holy God enfold all those who are suffering this night especially_____________
all who are ill and in the hospital. Comfort, console, and heal their bodies, minds, and spirits.
Holy God, enfold all of your children who are seeking help from you. You know their needs before we pray. Comfort, console, and heal their bodies, minds, and spirits.
Holy God enfold all of your children who are in mourning, give them strength and consolation as they meet the challenges of living with out their precious loved ones. Help us to step up and give them our love, support, and a soft place to fall.
Holy God enfold all of your children who have fears, anxieties, worries , and other concerns. Give them peace and the knowledge of knowing you are ever present.
Holy God enfold. all of us who are facing struggles this year. Help us to know that we are in your arms and you will not let us fall.
Holy God enfold all your children who are dying and those precious souls who have made their journey into the Thin Places this night and today. May they rest in peace and rise in glory and may they sing and dance for joy in the heavenly places for all eternity.
Holy God enfold all living things from the rich soil, verdant foliage, and the tallest giraffe that it may be protected and conserved and that God's Cathedral of Life may flourish and be healed.
Holy God enfold us as we pray and give thanks for all our many blessings and may we add our prayers for those who have come to us seeking prayers especially____________________ and for those who have wanted to ask us for prayer but were afraid and the may unspoken prayers this day.
These are our prayers Lord Jesus and we present them to you in your most Holy Name. Amen.
