Today’s Reflection: It became obvious to me that nature has her own language. She speaks through the animals, the trees, and the cool summer breeze. She whispers, ‘Embrace me,’ and I do. – Red Deer Runs In Darkness

Today’s Reflection: He Is Already There
Before the alarm,
before the coffee,
before the waking up,
He is already there.
Before the morning rush,
before the drop off line,
before the to-dos on your list,
He is already there.
Before the deadline,
before the disappointment,
before the unexpected delay,
He is already there.
Before the diagnosis,
before the phone call,
before the meeting,
He is already there.
Before the confrontation,
before the heartbreak,
before the life-changing news,
He is already there.
Before the laughter,
before the surprise,
before the blessing,
He is already there.
Before the decision,
before the outcome,
before the need to know,
He is already there.
Before all you will face,
before all you will need to do,
before all you will
experience,
walk through,
see and feel this year – your God is already there. – Stacy L. Sanchez

Today’s Reflection: A Prayer to Ease Stress
Loving God, please grant me peace of mind and calm my troubled heart. My soul is like a turbulent sea. I can’t seem to find my balance so I stumble and worry constantly. Give me the strength and clarity of mind to find my purpose and walk the path you’ve laid out for me. I trust your Love God, and know that you will heal this stress. Just as the sun rises each day against the dark of night. Please bring me clarity with the light of God.
In your name I pray, – Author Unknown
