My reflection is from our Mercy Prayer Book:
“Generous God, we wait for you. You are our highest joy, our deepest peace. As we go forth to this day’s tasks, let us carry your light within us. May our day begin in you and end in you so that all may be done for your glory. May you and you alone be the principal motive of our actions. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”

My reflection:
“Every person needs a place that they can call their own – whether it’s a whole room, a spot in the garden, or a special chair – where they can relax and be themselves.
You’re not being selfish when you do something nice for yourself.
Take a little time every day just for yourself – even if it’s only fifteen minutes.
Slow down, embrace solitude, and discover your inner joy.”
Let us take time just to be with our God.?

My reflection:
“Prayer is a way that our hearts can communicate in faith, a way that we can ask questions and receive answers, a way that we can openly express our feelings and concerns.
Prayer is a wonderful source of strength for a person, and prayers can become even stronger when we turn to each other for support in prayer. Lean on prayer to help you through difficult times and know with certainty what the power of prayer can do.”
Jesus reminds us how important prayer is in our lives. It is a way to keep our friendship alive.?

My reflection:
“May the days be good to you: comforting more often than crazy and giving more often then taking.
May the passing seasons make sure that any heartaches are replaced with a million smiles and that any hard journeys eventually turn into nice, easy miles that take you everywhere you want to go.” Douglas
Pagels

My reflection:
“Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough-that we should try again. (Julia Camron)
Superwoman or Superman is a fictional character; she or he does not actually exist.
Preserving your sanity is more important than meeting a deadline.
You are limited by the number of things you can do at once.
You can – and will – check off every item on your to do list in time.”
God invites us on a wonderful journey called life. Sometimes there are ups and sometimes there are downs but God is always present.?

My reflection:
“When making decisions, listen to your logical mind, but don’t leave behind the wisdom of your instincts and the messages from your heart. Listen to all of them, and do what’s right for you. Let your faith be a guiding light and daily comfort, and you will always feel blessed.
Let these words be your guide to a positive life. Keep them in your mind, heart, and spirit. Use them, and the guiding principles you discover on your own, to create for yourself the future you choose. “Jaclyn Schiff
Let God‘s words be your guide.?

My reflection:
“Be patient and persistent, and you won’t ever feel the need to quit. Seek help when you need it, and you’ll never struggle alone.
Keep your energy, passion and excitement for life and you’ll never be bored or discontented. Stay focused on your goals and not on who others want you to be or what they want you to achieve.” Jacqueline Schiff
