I Pray…..Let My Light Shine

 

Good Morning Heavenly Father, I give you thanks for the blessings of awakening to a new Monday morning. I’ve a new week ahead and I humbly pray you will walk beside me as I open the challenges for today and of this week. I will take it one day at a time, and I give You my week.

Father, Give me new strength. May I walk in total faith along with you all the days of this new week. Send me your angels to guard over me as I work in your gardens, and as I honor you with your divine purpose for me. Bless all that I lay my hands on and the lives of those I will visit.

My Father God I ask for a calm spirit as I practice and prepare for my new Yoga class. I hope to share my spirit through You, with those who attend my class.

I thank you now for all my many blessings. I give You all my honor this morning with praises and thanksgiving. Amen

The Lord’s Sabbath Day

May the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be with you…on this Sabbath Day.

A New Read…..

Lifetime female friendship is the essence of this read. Elena and Lila rely on each other and survive a poor upbringing in Naples  Italy. The author Elena Ferrante gives you a story of a neighborhood, a city, a country and a nation, during immense change, and how it affected their lives and their deep friendship. If you have had the experience of a lifetime female friendship and you have lost contact with them, you will remember your friend with great admiration and how you relied on each other, as you navigated the good and the tough times. Sometimes these kinds of friendships only happen once. A great read.

A Weekend…..

Yea, the weekend is here…..time to watch the rain coming down, to do a little cooking, some tidying, some ironing and mending, some reading, listening to music, prayer and reflection and sharing ourselves. We are savoring gratitude this Saturday morning. We are indoors, dry, fed, calm, content and very blessed. Thank you Lord for your saving Grace and your companionship. It is going to be a calm,  mostly indoor weekend. We might even take a walk, if the opportunity presents a light shower, and we will focus some time on our Yoga practice. With a little luck, we will be out-and-about gardening again come Monday week.

My Dear God, I call out to you…..and thank you for “this rainy weekend.”

• AMEN•

Saturday Morning Prayer

My Father God, as I reflect on my week and all the many projects and tasks I’m working on…..I cannot forget what your closeness to me and your saving Grace does for my soul. I am humbled to even be living, breathing ,working, sharing and connecting with you on this beautiful spring morning. Please guide me in my projects today and remind me to always be centered in your saving Grace. Thank you for your many wonderful blessings on me, and those that I deeply love. All I wish for today is to bring honor and adoration to you.

My all loving God, I ask that you bless my coming and going today. Be before me, behind me, and beside me – protect me and move me toward that which will bring you and me always closer and in communion together. I adore thee my Lord and Savior God. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, AMEN

Jesus…..just as I am

…..O lamb of God, I come, I come.

I come to you this morning. You have bidst me to come to thee. May we share quiet prayer time today as we go together to my gardening assignment. My real truth wants to enter this lovely little “garden house” and be alone with you. My vision is to be there all day with you. Thank you for being with me no matter where I am. I am grateful for all our times together, no matter where we are. I am so grateful and thank you for the work to which you have called me. I give you all the honor and glory for allowing me to create beautiful spaces in your world.

Oh Lamb of God, I come, I come.

• AMEN•

…….thank you God

Yesterday I turned the soil in “the Generals” garden.  Weeding it and bringing new rich black soil to the surface. As I turned to begin packing up my car, I heard lovely chirps.  When I turned back to look, two Robins were forcing their beaks into the soil and pulling up nourishment…the spring worms, their favorite. I even talked to them a little. Inquiring if they had come to visit me or the worms. They stayed. Regardless…..it was a “moment.”

…..and soon I was happily on my way.  God is so Good.

• AMEN •
