Good Morning Friends!
I was so touched by this on the news – you could see the spirit of life, of God, in this young woman. Please click on the link below to read Scott Pelley, a news anchor from CBS News, discuss “Kayla Mueller Was A Light In The Darkness.”
Thinking about prayer this morning. Prayers brings us openness and new depths of understanding and insight. This has been a favorite prayer for many years. I invite you to read it slowly and aloud to yourself.
A Gathering Prayer by George Appleton
Give me a candle of the spirit, O God
as I go down into the deep of my own being
Show me the hidden things. Take me
down to the spring of my life, and
tell me my nature and my name.
Give me freedom to grow so that I
may become my true self – the
fulfillment of the seed which you
planted in me at my making.
Out of the deep I cry unto thee, O God.
Amen.
I believe that five minutes of early morning prayer can make a difference in our lives as we go through the day, opening us to the mystery of God, letting God take our self off our hands. We can be more compassionate and wise in the way we relate to others. We can be more carefree, spontaneous and loving.
“To discover God is not to discover an idea but to discover oneself. It is to awaken to that part of one’s existence which has been hidden from sight and which one has refused to recognize.”
-Taken from Awakening by Bede Griffiths
“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”
-1 COR 3:16
With you in awakening to who we are in God and to who God is in us here and now.
We are all sparks of the Divine flame
Blessed Be
Compassionate Be
Boldly Be
