Time for mindfulness, sitting, and emptying our minds and letting God in.





Dear Family of Love! 

Happy Take Care Tuesday! I hope everyone is doing just that! I want to thank you for your prayers. My headache is gone and I feel much better. My head must like the barometric pressure's reaction to rain. We are finally getting rain and I give thanks to God for it. I know this must seem like a double Monday after the Martin Luther King Holiday. These 3 day weekends are fine but our equilibriums are sorely challenged. Balance is what our bodies, minds, and spirits need. Tonight we are going to do our mindfulness exercises and set our timers for 10 minutes. We will sit and just be and then have our Virtual Candlelight Prayer Vigil.

To begin let us remember this :

Be Still and Know That I am God.
Be Still and Know.
Be Still. 
Be


Inhale and hold your breath and gently and slowly exhale. 

Do this for three times.

Tonight we listen contemplatively to Traditional Bhutanese Music.

or Tibetan Singing Bowl Meditation for 10 minutes





Close your eyes and feel God's presence. 

Dear ones it is time for our Virtual Candlelight Prayer Vigil  Let us light our candles and pray for all of the homeless refugees,lonely,lost, missing, victims of violence and hatred, hungry, and ill-clad throughout the world. 



Now let us pray for peace and unity among all people and nations! 

God who made us and makes us one we pray for unity among all people and nations
May we be one and love one another.

God who made us and makes us one lead us to put away all hindrances that divide us

God who made us and makes us one may we be with those who are pre-grieving and mourning any loss.
