People must know that God wants them to KNOW him God has more patience with us than we have with ourselves               Brother Paolo Taize                                                                                      

Pentecost                                                                                                                                                                                                          Today we feel the wind beneath our wings. Today the hidden fountain flows and plays. Today the church draws breath and sings. As every flame becomes a Tongue of praise. This is the feast of fire, air and water. Poured out and breathed and kindled into earth. The earth herself awakens to her maker. And is translated out of death to birth. The right words come today in their right order. And every word spells freedom and release, Today the gospel crosses every border. All tongues are loosened by the Prince of Peace, Today the lost are found in His translation. Whose mother tongue is Love in every nation.

Jesus, You are always there waiting for me. Sometimes I get bogged down with the concerns of life. Grant that I may be still more often. To know Your peace, Your calm. When I come into your presence, O Lord, I know I am in the presence of my Creator. You created me out of Love. You even know the number of hairs on my head. Your presence, O Lord, is the greatest of all. We all need to take time out from our daily chores. We know that our bodies need a rest. When we come into your presence, Lord, our hearts and minds are refreshed, out spirits lifted. Guide me always to do your holy will knowing that your strength will carry me through.

Be Still, You do not have to look for anything; Just look, You do not have to listen for specific sound, Just Listen. You do not need to accomplish anything, Just be!.                                                                                                    Ann Lewin

Without the spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.    Charles Spurgeon 

 Generous God, Pour your abundant life into my heart, Help me to live differently. And today may others see and receive this offer of life through me. Amen                                                                                           Sue Page LLM
