Good Evening Family of Love,
Tonight we begin the most exciting challenge of all ! How many of you remember something like Secret Pals or Secret Easter Bunny, etc? Well we are going to do something very similar here at Walk With Me On Our Journey the only difference is this: We are going to send special greetings to those who rub us the wrong way. It's not the easiest thing to do but we must make inroads into practicing loving acts of kindness with our enemies. Each one of us needs to know that we are loved, valued, and made to feel special. It's just that simple. Along these lines we need to spread cheer wherever we are on the internet. Be positive! Listen to the tone of Tweets and Posts and see what feelings people are conveying. If they are scared encourage them by telling them you are praying or thinking of them. Yes my dear family we are going to turn the world upside down by being loving and kind. Whatever we are seeing on the news and on the web that is negative we are going to be just the opposite and become positive forces for good. Are you ready? Let's send out loving posts and tweets every chance we get. Use this picture to encourage right behavior:
Tomorrow is Being Thoughtful and Thankful Thursday, Let's begin our love campaign in earnest. You can start tonight if you so desire.
Let's spend some time in silence and think of the people in our lives who need love and care. Let us think of the families of those who are led to commit acts of violence and pray for them
It is time for our nightly Virtual Candlelight Prayer Vigil!
Let's light our candles and be at prayer. This night let us pray that we may put God's commandments to love God, one another, ourselves, and our enemies into action. We pray for the needs of this fragile and broken world. We pray for conservation of God's Cathedral of Life that sustains all living things. We pray that we may endeavor to be and bring the light and love to this troubled nation of ours and continue to to pray and wisely consider the words of the prophet Micah:
He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
