Morning Offering: 09. 24. 21

Today’s Reflection: Take five minutes today to go outside and just sit still. Listen to the sounds you hear… maybe you’ll just hear cars, lawnmowers and radios… try to hear the sounds underneath that surface noise, the sound of the wind in the trees, birds singing and animals buzzing… take a moment to remind yourself about your connection to the earth and to all living things… how the trees will inhale our air and make it clean and healthy… how the rain will provide us with water and help to grow the food that sustains us…take a moment to be grateful for the air you breathe, the beauty that surrounds you and the earth that provides us with nourishment and life… — Unattributed.

Today’s Reflection: O Lord, Thank you for all the good gifts you have given us….
For the fine, delicate balance of the natural world.
For the amazing variety of fruit seeds and grains.
For the beauty of autumn when the greens turn yellow, gold and crimson.
Lord, help us to enjoy this beautiful season. Amen. — Unattributed.

Today’s Reflection: Love this Morning Prayer! – Dear Heavenly Father,
Be with me in my going out and coming home,
in my journeying and returning,
in my decision making and organizing.
Be with me through the calm
and through the storm,
be my comfort
when I’m hurting,
be my helper
when I’m falling.
Walk with me every moment
of this new day. — Unattributed.

Today’s Reflection: Open my ears, Lord, when talking to me in prayer. Some days, I hear only what I want to hear. Some days, I have a hard time listening. Open my ears Lord, when talking to me in prayer.

Morning Offering: 09. 10. 21

Today’s Reflection: Leave me alone with God as much as may be.
As the tide draws water close in upon the shore,
Make me an island, set apart,
Alone with you, God, Holy to you.
Then with the turning of the tide
Prepare me to carry your presence to the busy world beyond,
The world that rushes in on me,
Til the waters come again and fold me back to you. — Prayer of St. Aidan of Lindisfarne.
