A blessing for all those we have loved, now gone

 

A Blessing

We bless the people we have loved

No longer in the world

We hold each treasured memory up

For grace to bless and bind with love

We remember them with heart-felt sorrow

That they are no longer here

We bless each precious moment that they lived

And rejoice for all they were

The good, the bad, the sad, the hopeful

May their song sing out a blessing here

May they find  peace beyond this life

May they comfort us, ever near

In thought and word

And heart-filled treasures

Of kindnesses along the way

Or special moments of inspiration:

A blessing for that day.

Put out into the deep

 

Put Out into the Deep

Put out into the deep dear friend.

Put out deep and trust in the Lord

Immerse yourself in His Spirit

For you will then travel a new path,

You will find a new way,

Abundant with Love

Guided by Truth

Inspired by His Wisdom,

For, He says,

My Way is always Light.

My way is always True.

My Way is always Love

And above all, My Way is filled with Mercy.

Therefore feel safe as you journey.

Be of good peace in your heart.

Trust in that which is yet to come.

Be filled with compassion for each other.

My Love knows no bounds.

Remember that I am always with you

And thus, you cannot fail to find me.

So put out into the depth of your own heart, dear friend

And Know that I am with you.
