Dear Family of Love,
I hope all of you had a blessed day! Tonight on our prayer pilgrimage we carried both the Sun and The Son with us. We do this every day. You will get to see the pix from tonight's prayer pilgrimage Did you remember that You Matter, to Take Care today,and that today was and still is Being Thoughtful and Thankful Thursday. This might be a good time to take time to use our time of meditation and write down the many things we are grateful for. Tonight let us use Loreena McKennitt's -Mystic's Dream for our meditation music or you may choose the kind of music you 'd like to use. Write down the things that you are grateful for and as you do pray and give thanks.
