May my inactivity be a time of
prayerful preparation for living in your name.
May my activity be dedicated to your
will and your way.
Take my spirit and transform me from
self serving to your service.
In your love and grace let me thrive. AMEN
Dear God, In the long list of "things to do", may we add, taking a moment and being in silent prayer with you. May we breathe the refreshing breath of gentle presence and peace. And then, God, as we chip away at our list, may we say a prayer of gratitude after each success. May we be centered in the priority of acknowledging your grace and peace. May no task be too small or too large that you are not at the center of our doing and being. AMEN
Dear God, We pray for mother's everywhere. That they will be good nurturers of souls, longing to live and flourish. We pray for them in their successes and failures, for it is a formidable task. We give thanks to those who shared their lives with us, giving the best of themselves so that we might grow in wellness and wholeness. We give thanks to you, O God, for you are like a mother to us and we live in gratitude to your love and grace, AMEN
Dear God, The last leaves have slipped, skidded and sloped towards earth. The last Requiem of this year's harvest of elegance lies limply on mother earth. The bones and ligaments of trees etched against the sky, sigh with a different tune in the cool north wind. We bundle our cloak closer about our own bones, pause to acknowledge the rhythm of our earth and flow on, face set and determined to find our own Jerusalem. Our own Requiem is sometime coming in the harvest of another fall, but until then, may we sing a tune of angels love and greet the dawn with vision,, hope and prayer. AMEN
