2024 is off and running and we’re already hustling to keep up at home and in life! I am grateful for all the time with my family this month and I remain impressed by my youngpeople’s view of the world. God is good.
This week I share one of my favorite songs by artist Bob Marley. Tomorrow I take this song and the above quote from Ann Garrido along with me as I hop back on a plane to get back into the rhythm of my integration of work and life. And with this prayer below I also give thanks for the God of surprises. Amen!
We Pray…
For healing…prepare us for surprises.
For strength…prepare us for surprises.
For vision…prepare us for surprises.
For transformation…prepare us for surprises.
For messengers and messages…prepare us for surprises.
For community…prepare us for surprises.
For acceptance – of ourselves and others…prepare us for surprises.
For making room at our tables…prepare us for surprises.
For Truth-seeking…prepare us for surprises.
For support…prepare us for surprises.
For Common Ground…prepare us for surprises.
Walk beside us, O Holy One,
as we question and welcome,
as we challenge and invite,
as we discover and understand,
as we see, touch, taste, smell, and listen for the Newness awaiting us in 2024.
May we, Your Holy People, walk forward together, side by side.
Amen
Keeping the Faith
