Good Evening Dear Family!
Tonight we are going to keep this short. My hands are in pain and we need to begin our preparations for our weekend retreats for Self-Care and Sabbath Rest. Tonight or tomorrow please take time to place the worries and all other things that are bothering you and are struggling with into the Worry/Sabbath Box, Jar, or journal. This weekend we are preparing to commemorate the 15 year since 9/11. This is a good time to pray and be still and not only that but reconnect with all that is holy and life giving. Also it is the perfect time to reunite with all of our brothers and sisters who make up the rich diversity of this world. We pray this weekend that we may become a solid family of God and also children of Abraham. We pray for outstretched hearts, hands, and minds that seek to be compassionate, accepting, loving , and merciful.
Here we light a single candle in-memorium
Tonight's meditation music is Diane Arkenstone - Kiva Ceremony or Ah Nee Mah-Ancient Voices- Full Album , Tonight take time to breathe and be at one with the holy and find peace, love, and listen for the still small voice. Take all the time you need. When you are ready, slowly begin to pray these words
