Dear Family of Love!
I don' t know about you but all the violence, terror, hate, injustice, and fear that has been running rampant is hurting my heart. I hope it is hurting your heart as well. We all need to take time to become peacemakers and love one another. I would like all of us family members to be mindful of the needs of others that includes people we don't know or understand. We are kin one to another. We also need to stop hating, doing violent acts, and misusing God's name for our own purposes in the name of God! God is loving, just, merciful kind and includes not excludes. God is our sustainer and Creator. Where is this coming from? I guess that I have had it with all the name calling, misinformation, and the like. We all need to get back to basics Whatever separates us from our Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier isn't good ! Whatever separates us from caring for our planet isn't good. Whatever separates us from caring for all living creatures isn't good! Whatever separates us a family members even those whom we don't like isn't good ! For the remainder of this month I'm challenging each of us to reflect upon what divides us and begin to find ways in which we can find loving unity. It may be a step by step journey. But journeys are always step by step. This will not be a quick fix but nothing is in this life. Tonight let us meditate on how we can practice non violence and turn away from hate. This is my rant for peace, love, justice, unity and letting God be God as God is ! God is Love! Tonight's meditation music is this Gandhi Sountrack or George Harrison's and Pandit Ravi Shankar's songs .
God of unity help us to break down the walls that separate us . May we be united as one family under you O God.
God of peace, we pray for peace in our hearts, minds, spirits, and especially in our cities, and in the war torn places in this your fragile and broken world.
God of justice, we pray that everyone may be granted the right to peaceably assemble and protest injustices anywhere.
God of mercy, help us to show mercy to all those who are the least of these and see you in each of their faces. May we reflect love, kindness, mercy, and shine the light of Christ to them.
God of kindness, help us to be kind and not hateful and replace hate for kindness, love, justice, and mercy.
God of all creation, we pray that we may become united with all creation and practice Godly conservation that will please You and heal your planet for the good of all living things. We pray for rain that it will heal all the drought stricken areas of the world and in our state.
God of Healing, Heal all of our family members who are in need of healing of body, mind, and spirit.
May we reach out to them when they cry and ask for help.
God of Comfort, We pray for all those who pre-grieving and sitting vigil at bedside while they wait for their loved ones to transition into the Thin Places. May we offer solace and comfort when needed.
God we pray for all those who are dying and who have died today that they may have or have had a joyful and peaceful journey into the Thin Places.
God of all Gentleness, we pray for the health and safety for all of the little ones your children. We pray that they may be treated as precious treasures and may be cared for tenderly.
God of Forgiveness and mercy we ask forgiveness of all the wrongs that we have done either by omission and commission.
God of Love, may we always be loving and thankful.
God we add our prayers for ourselves and on behalf of others now_____________________
God we lift up these our prayers in the name of your Son Jesus the Christ. Amen.

Good Night Family of Love. I love you! Sometimes we all need to vent and I hope you accept my venting that is not directed towards you in anyway, but as a way forward in practicing peace, love, and justice in our daily lives. This is also a reminder that this is a soft place for each of us to fall and if you need to message me you know the drill. PM me on Facebook and DM me on Twitter. I give thanks to God for you always!
Love, prayers, blessings, and peace be always yours,
Sara
