a sweet friend of mine sent me a prayer and i'd like to share it with you. i know that Christmas time is a time of peace and LOvE and family. i also know that in the midst of all the preparations and celebrations, stress and chaos are usually added in also. i hope that you will keep this prayer in your heart today and everyday as we get ready for the new year.
St. Theresa's PrayerMay today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where
you are meant to be..
May you not forget the infinite
possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have
received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child
of God..
Let this presence settle into your bones,
and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
...and speaking of the new year, i know a lot of us are thinking of new beginnings. new hopes and dreams. i am hoping to look back on this year and see what was in my heart as a wish. what kept me from turning this wish into a dream with wings? how can i make this dream become a reality? where is the courage that i need to see this into fruition. maybe now is the time for mondo beyondo dreams.
