Ah, I loved the experience of reading these lines! The entire poem encouraged me, but if I have to pick favorites, I choose the last six. I try to watch the sunrise and sunset every day. 🧡
This was exactly what I needed this week — “To get from Monday to Friday, you’ll have to get out of bed five times / some weeks this seems like a lot, but most good gifts can feel overwhelming at first” …remembering that this is a gift and I can choose to find the joy is a huge blessing, thanks so much :)
Speak with God / short prayers, long prayers, morning prayers, afternoon prayers, evening prayers / don’t forget to watch the sun rest and rise and as the colors mix with the sky remind yourself that you were made to do both / rest and rise / empty your hands but keep holding onto hope / confess your sins and go forward with grace
Reading this part I saw like the flash of a BRIGHT light as when you enter a dark room and you hit the switch to turn on the light, BAMMM!!!
Fav line: empty your hands but keep holding onto hope. Amen. (Honorable mention: the shout out to TJ's peanut butter cups. They are that good.)
“don’t forget to watch the sun rest and rise and as the colors mix with the sky remind yourself that you were made to do both / rest and rise”
I needed this. Thank you.

When I read give yourself moments of stillness , I read it as silliness at first. Then thought we need both. 🙂
