. LIFE IS A GIFT . 10/19/21 . Tuesday Prayer

Prayer Starter: To rejoice in the Ordinary

Each day we are given the Gift of Life. No matter how hard the gift may be to open or if we get hurt trying to open our gift, the Gift is still waiting on us to accept it and rejoice in it.

Spiritual Practice for today:

Write a letter of gratitude – to yourself! Write a letter of what you feel good about within you, both natural gifts and those that you have cultivated. Write a thank you for accomplishments, big or small. Focus on the good and give thanks.

Welcome to my pondering and my prayer:

SHINING BRIGHT . Mark 10:35-45.Home Communion . 10/17/21 .

Accepting the Cup of Christ is not a putting oneself down. It is believing in oneself enough to know that you can make a difference, that you can bring blessing, that the power of life dwells in you.

You are invited to share at this Table of Love:

LISTEN FOR THE JOY . 10/13/21

In the down times, we probably don’t feel like joy at all, much less to try to think about joy. Sometimes, it feels better to grieve or whine.

Yet joy comes from deep within. Joy comes from knowing The Higher Power is a Power That Comes to Us, Connects With Us, Dwells Within Us. This deep joy restores us.

I invite you to join with me in prayer where the very thing I’m talking about happens:

WORLD COMMUNION SUNDAY… 10/03/2021 …

This is World Communion Sunday! It is a gift of reminder that we are all part of The Fullness of God, a Unity wholly complete in all our Diversity. Christ proclaimed and lived out that All are Loved and Welcomed.


Please join me in Communion at Home this morning on And She Pondered/Streaming Grace.

STRONGER WITH… 9/30/2021 … Thursday …

We are created to help and to be helped. We are stronger when we work together. Jesus tells his disciples that he will send the Holy Spirit as a Helper to them when he is no longer with them in the flesh. The same word, Helper, is used in Genesis as Adamah is created from the rib of Adam.

Helpers are not less than. Women are not less than. We are all equal in our Loving Creator’s eyes.

Spiritual Practice:
Take notice of each person who helps you today, from the farmer, grocer, seamstress, water department, delivery staff, to those who work and/or live with you. Say a prayer of thanksgiving and blessing for each one.

HEALING INSIDE OUT… 9/29/2021 …. Wednesday…

Spiritual Practice: Take a few minutes to sit quietly with your eyes closed, breathing, deeply, slowly. As you inhale, visualize breathing in God’s Healing Love for you. As you exhale, remind yourself that you are loved, that you are not your trauma, that you are not at fault for harm done by others. Forgive yourself for any self-harm. Let the hurt go into the All-Encompassing Love. May it be so. Amen.
