O God, in the course of this busy life, give us times of refreshment and peace; and grant that we may so use our leisure to rebuild our bodies and renew our minds, that our spirits may be opened to the goodness of your creation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Having spent this past weekend with our church family at the Episcopal Church Annual Council, this prayer really jumped out at me. This past weekend the good Lord gave us all a time of refreshment!! What an amazing time with an amazing group of people!! Ron and I both grew up in the church and were both very active in youth activities but never have either one of us ever felt so connected and such a part of such an incredible thing - A group of fellow Christians who you can not only pray and worship with but who you can "let your hair down" with and just be yourself, who you can laugh and dance with and make a total fool of yourself knowing at the end of the day they love you the same!! We love our St. Timothy's church family and thank God for them every day!!!
Thanks for sharing this-how I needed it! Love you!
