When our spirits have grown cold, send us the warmth of the Holy Spirit. Rekindle the flame of love within us. ~ Claudia Mair Burney
How do you rekindle?
Winter wilderness
Bridge building
“If we’re to live up to our own time
Then victory won’t lie in the blade
But in all the bridges we’ve made
That is the promise to glade
The hill we climb
If only we dare” ~ Amanda Gorman, Inauguration poem excerpt
What is your bridge to make?
God alone is enough
Let nothing upset you,
let nothing startle you.
All things pass;
God does not change.
Patience wins
all it seeks.
Whoever has God
lacks nothing:
God alone is enough. St. Teresa of Avila
How does this inspire you to action or lead to complacency?
Depths
In the midst of storms the lake surface gets rippled and stirred while in its depths it remains unshaken and still.
How do you find that deep grounding?
Presence
“Even as you sit silently, not knowing what to say, your presence is still a gift that shines light in a meaningful way.” Morgan Harper Nichols
Where is your presence needed?
Winter light
I am yearning for snow…fresh and untouched, a winter wonderland of stillness and peace that covers all the pain and grief of the past months.
What kind of space are you yearning for?
