A Beautiful Form of Prayer

Thank you for your messages! I appreciate your loving support.

My family is grateful, especially my brother Marty

who is suffering.

Thank you so much I wish I could respond to each of you individually

please know that I am thankful.

Patricia, from my blog, wrote me an email this yesterday,

(like many of you do and)

which I found so beautiful and helpful I want to share it with you.

Holding on

"… When I felt so burdened with grief and helpless and hopeless,
a good friend of mine told me to close my eyes
letting God wrap his arms around me.
And, you know what? It comforted me at a time
that I couldn’t control what was happening. "
 
 
Holding on
 
 
Let it be
love 
a
never-ending, undivided, withstanding
stronghold
those arms
this reality
present
for us
to dive into
your arms are around us
like a life jacket
I will imagine
my brother floating
in healing tranquility
as he swims these
dark waters.

  1. “What is a prayer? Prayer doesn’t only happen when we kneel or put our hands together and focus and expect things from God. Thinking positive and wishing good for others is a prayer. When you hug a friend. That’s a prayer. When you cook something to nourish family and friends. That’s a prayer. When we send off our near and dear ones and say, ‘drive safely’ or ‘be safe’. That’s a prayer. When you are helping someone in need by giving your time and energy. You are praying. When you forgive someone, that is prayer. Prayer is a vibration. A feeling. A thought. Prayer is the voice of love, friendship, genuine relationships. Prayer is an expression of your silent being. Keep praying, always …”
