Prayer for Tornado Victims

Dear God,

Enfold in your loving presence all those affected by the recent tornadoes. Comfort those who have lost loved ones, homes, businesses, or a sense of security. Heal those who have experienced physical or emotional trauma. Send your courage, strength and wisdom to help everyone rebuild their lives. In the midst of incredible devastation, help them to know that there is still something they can depend upon. A-men

I Am Willing to Feel Gentleness


I am willing
Willing
Willing to feel
Feel
Feel gentleness
Gentleness
Gentleness in my heart
My heart
I am willing to feel gentleness in my heart.

After a long time of creating walls
Walls
Walls between myself and others
Walls
Walls between the parts of myself
Walls
Walls between my body and my mind
Walls
I am willing to feel gentleness in my heart.

After months of building walls
After
After numbing with food, books, TV, hurry, crisis
After
After feeding the frost of winter in my soul
After
I am willing to feel gentleness in my heart.

I am willing to feel gentleness toward myself
Gentleness toward imperfection and weakness
Gentleness
Gentleness toward strengths and gifts
Gentleness
I am willing to feel gentleness in my heart.

I am willing to feel gentleness toward the world
Gentleness toward the sick and the well
Gentleness
Gentleness toward the weak and the strong
Gentleness
Gentleness toward those who want to give up
And toward those whose overreaching harms others
Gentleness
I am willing to feel gentleness in my heart.

Ernest Homes Affirmation

I liked this affirmation from 365 Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes and wanted to share it with you.

God’s Love always embraces us,
His wisdom is always within us,
And His Joy is ours to share.
Abundance is everywhere

The Blessing of Luck

You reach into the blessing bowl and pull out a small metal token embossed with the word LUCK. Why has it come to you today? What does it mean to you? My first thought was of the recent lottery winners in New York, a story that speaks of good luck.

When your ship comes in, may you be waiting at the dock.
May happy surprises to you often flock.

May events frequently go your way.
May the blessing of Luck grace your every day.
