Challenging our lungs, legs, and hearts! Taking care of ourselves requires Endurance, Faith,Courage, and Resiliency !
Good Evening Family of Love!
Tonight we had Prayer Walk #2 The big 5 mile Loop and this afternoon I did the Whole Holy# 3. This was very good because today is Take Care Tuesday. I'm finding that Taking care of ourselves and others require us to be acquainted with this week's key words: Endurance, Faith, Courage, and Resiliency. These two expanded prayer walks are challenging our lungs, legs, hearts, and yes even our levels of concentration. I feel at peace when I'm doing these walks and it helps me with the grieving and healing process I'm going through. I invite each of you to try to get out and walk each day. It might just be the trick that will cure what ails you in your bodies, minds, and spirits. Tonight let's take time to do a virtual prayer walk with the heart labyrinth and then have a time of prayer.
This virtual prayer walk we will use our mouse as if they were our feet, Take time to pray for all those concerns that make your heart tender and don't forget the joy's that make you glad and want to give thanks! You have a choice of the following labyrinths to do your virtual prayer walk.
In celebration of Earth Day we will have for tonight's listening and meditation music:
