Thought For The Week

          This week was one of those when I was struggling for something to talk about.  It has been a stressful couple of weeks: the death of a colleague, the serious illness of my mother back home, and lots of other things going on.  We all have times like this, but it made it a little difficult to come up with an uplifting message!

          Then this morning, when I opened my email, I found a message that my mother, who is recovering now, had forwarded.  In it was a prayer that just seemed to sum up what I felt I needed, and therefore I thought I’d pass it on.  Who knows who else might be in need of its message?  So here it is:

May today there be peace within.

May you trust your highest power 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 that you are a child of God.

Let this presence settle into our bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

 It is there for each and every one of you.

prayer, we will be living the life that God wishes for us.  We will be passing on His love.  And we will find peace, contentment and happiness, whatever our circumstances are, in our own life.  What else is there to say?  Read this prayer, take it to heart, and may God’s blessings find each and every one of you.
