Do you have a routine prayer you’ve created and say everyday with your Family?
What if you did? Is there something stopping you?
We pray for Peace in our Soul, Joy in our Spirit, and Love in our Hearts. For all our Family, all our friends, and especially all those people less fortunate.
There is no fancy website test here. But the question, “How well do you pray?”, is a good one to think about.
For probably 20 years, I’ve thought to myself that the meaning of life is peace and contentment.
Peace with who you are, and content with what you have.
In 51 years, I have found nothing even comes close to offering this, except daily, moment to moment prayer. And in the last ten years, through trial and error, there is great peace and contentment.
The phrase “carpediem“, or seize the day, means nothing, if you don’t actually do it.
And doing it requires a peace and contentment that is uncommon.
Being present. Being thankful. Being forgiving. Exercise. Nutrition. Rest. Play. Purposeful work.
I don’t think these are out of reach for anyone. Do you?
Our beloved Canine son, Carter, our 11-year old Yellow Lab, is very sick.
What started a few weeks ago, appearing to be the a routine distraction from food – a neighbor’s pet in heat – has manifested itself into complications we may not recover from. Cancer.
While our hearts are breaking, they are not completely shattered. Big difference.
We have no regrets with Carter. We have given and received all there is and was, to give and receive.
Peace and blessings. Faith, Hope and Love.
Life. Death.
Trust in the Lord with all our heart, all our mind, and all our strength.
And then cry like a baby, until we can no longer stay awake.
