[Lekooks] "I am Not Alone. There is a Love Holding Me."

[C J]

Hi All - 
I'm sharing this from the youth con worship service held a few weeks ago.  Obviously with the sunshine it doesn't pertain today, but for any "gray" day ahead...

I AM NOT ALONE. THERE IS A LOVE HOLDING ME. By Heather Rion Starr
May I move gently through this cloudy, murky, gray day.
May I remember that this is just one day,
and that showing up is at least half of what is asked of me.
May I set aside my underlying anxiety that I will not get to everything
and put my trust and faith onto the riverbank of human community — we are working together.
I am not alone. There is a Love holding me that is unconcerned with my day's to-do list and more
concerned with my spirit's survival, even its thriving, in this beautiful, challenging world. May we all
remember that Rome wasn't built in a day, that our efforts are part of an ongoing stream of efforts,
of lives being lived beside one another, shoring up this world.

May what little I do today be for the greater good.
May I be gentle with others today as I long for others to be gentle with me.
May it be so.
