Dear Family of Love,
Happy Take Care Tuesday! I hope everyone is taking care of yourselves and all of our family members who need it. It is that time of year when we all need to practice self-care not only on Saturday but everyday. Our spirits need self-care too. I find this especially true after the holidays and stressful times. Yes we all need to spend more time in silence and off the grid. That being said, I hope everyone takes time to turn off the TV, music, and anything else that may be interfering with our time with God and ourselves. This is meant to be a time of reconnection with God and You! Yes, you!
Do you know who you are and whose you are? Let's take a moment and see what your heart's answer is. If you are struggling with this. Let us take time to be in meditation with God and ourselves.
Remember we are to :
Be Still and Know that I am God
Be Still and Know
Be Still
Be
Take time to slowly breathe in and exhale out.
Do this for as long as it takes you to find peace and quiet within.
Now let us repeat the question: Do you know who you are and whose you are?
Let us sit quietly. This may take you a long time to find out and that is okay. You have all the time in the world to find this out. Just keep sitting, praying, and remaining with God and asking God to remain in you.
Dear Ones it is time for our daily Virtual Candlelight Prayer Vigils.
Now let us light our candles and settle into our Virtual Candlelight Prayer Vigils: Tonight let us pray for the leaders of our country and that we may learn to love one another no matter who we are and where we are from.
