I don't often blog about my faith or God. I feel other people write theirs much more eloquently than I could at the moment. I'm in the middle of a change in my views on organized religion and I prefer to keep that to myself. That being said when I feel something speak to me I will share.
My Grandfather is a deeply religious man. I can remember being little and watching him pray the Rosary in a corner chair in the middle of the afternoon. When I was in college and would call him for advice he would always tell me to pray about it.
When I got sick and was in the midst of my deep, dark hole of depression he sent me a subscription to The Daily Word. Its a prayer book of daily meditations and scripture. It has been an amazing source of support through the years.
Yesterday as I was pondering what topic to write about today (while waiting for some Panda Panda to be ready (Mr. Mohawk's name for Panda Express)) I pulled my Daily Word out of my purse. This was the entry for today:

Pray for Others
I reach out in prayer to support and encourage others.
It has been said that "it takes a village to raise a child." We all benefit when we assist and support one another. I am fulfilled as I give from my heart the gifts of my time, talent and treasure, and as I support others through the power of affirmative prayer. When I pray for others, I reach out in faith and enfold them in love.
We are one in Spirit with each other, for we are all children of God. As I pray for others, I tap into our spiritual connection that joins us heart and mind. Through prayer, I am part of a "village" of people who spiritually support one another. Every time I pray, every time I give my love and encouragement, I am more aware of the living Christ Presence within us all.

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.--John 15:12
So tonight I pray for those of you making up our village. Thank you for your supportive comments and emails. For your positive thoughts and for checking in on us. I pray that you are supportive in your village and with your children.
