A time of prayer and meditation. We must rest, pray, and go to the other side of the lake.

Good evening dear ones!

Happy Being Thoughtful and Thankful Thursday! Time for us to have a gentle wind down with prayer and meditation. Tomorrow we go into retreat mode and that means more silence and lest jangles

Let us start by working on our Sabbath Worry Box so that tomorrow we my enter our time of retreat with less on our hearts and minds. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a box, jar, or journal where we write down our list on sticky notes of what ever is bothering us and we place them in the box, jar, or journal and don't look at them again until Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Do this in silence

Now let us engage in the Be Stills.

Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am.
Be still and know.
Be still.
Be.

Please repeat 3 times with your eyes closed or half closed if you cannot remember the phrases.


Take out a mindfulness app, timer, or if you prefer a timed piece of music.
And find your happy or contemplative place.

Now let us walk a virtual labyrinth walk. Use your mouse to lead you to the heart of the matter.

Tonight let's meditate on the words unity and love. Take your time and find your way into the center and stay there. Be in conversation and listen to what God is saying.



Let us light our candle and be at prayer!

Open our eyes, ears, hearts, and souls O God to help us promote healthy bodies, minds, and spirits not only in our lives but as as good citizens.

Open our eyes, ears, hearts, and souls O God  to seek peace in everything we do.
