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, 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 stand in the middle of eternity, time stretching out without limit in all directions. But yet, here in this moment we seem to be running out of that which is without end. How can this be? We need help stopping ourselves so time will catch up. Let us not be run ragged trying to stop time, but let us be in harmony with the passing moments. Instead of racing, let us walk slowly. Instead of gasping let us breathe gently. Instead of of moaning and sighing, let us sing of Angels we have heard on high. It is well. It is well. AMEN
