walking with grief
Excerpts from some words by George MacDonald in Celtic Daily Prayer
Do not hurry
As you walk with grief
It does not help the journey
Walk slowly
Pausing often
Do not hurry
As you walk with grief
Be gentle with the other
Who walks with grief
If it is you
Be gentle with yourself
Swiftly forgive
Walk slowly
Pausing often
Take time, be gentle
as you walk with grief
I am praying this for so many of my friends today: Janette, Nick, Jenn, Amanda, Pernell, Peter, Andrew, Margie, Lisa
If you would like to pray this prayer for any of your friends, you might like to add their names (I suggest first names only) in the comments …

a bubble prayer
John Drane lead prayers at Opawa on Sunday. He blew bubbles – fragile, beautiful – and invited people to call out things they wanted prayer for. First response was from the right hand side:
a new start and new life for our church.
and a stream of bubbles drifted through the Opawa air.
Amen.
