Hear our call - a poem of the Spirit

Spirit in action
 
 flows like the wind
 dances like fire
 
 encompasses all in
 the Light of the World
 
 whispers of freedom
 sings wildly of Passion
 
 Brings Power and Wisdom
 to all those who hope
 
 Spirit is action
 and Spirit is Fire
 
 Spirit is Freedom
 and Spirit is here
 
 Spirit flows like a fountain
 cleansing all in its Pathway
 
 unstoppable Spirit
 the Spirit of Love.
 
 Spirit is Joy
 and Spirit is knowing
 
 Spirit is wonder
 and Awe at the sight
 
 Spirit brings Peace
 and a Joy never-ending
 
 in a dance of forever
 Spirit brings us to Light
 
 Spirit is Tender
 and Spirit is water
 
 Spirit is weeping
 and Spirit is Prayer
 
 Spirit brings Love
 to the heart of creation
 
 Spirit is gentle
 and tenderly there
 
 Bringing all in its pathway
 to once hidden places
 
 Setting Light to our hearts
 bringing Hope to despair
 
 Blessing all as it passes
 it moves like a windswell
 
 breathing Life in our spirits
 bringing all now to Truth.
 
 For Spirit is God
 and is there at the centre
 
 and Spirit is Love
 and holds all for all time
 
 and the Peace that God brings
 is the Peace of forever
 
 and the healing that blesses
 brings Life to us all.
 
 Oh Love - hear our call 

A prayer for carers

We ask for a special prayer for carers
that they be renewed and strengthened every day 
and guided in wisdom to know what to do 

and how to help in the best possible way.

We ask that they find consolation and comfort 
in their own struggles and that each day 
will bring them blessings and hope to carry on.

All praise and thanks to God. 

Amen.

A Blessing for those no longer with us

A blessing is a sprinkling of love. It lifts, transforms, heals, changes the energy, lightens our spirits. It us utterly of God. We are the messenger, God’s is the Power.

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.

Bereavement : this is not the end. A new song.

I wrote this song after my Mum's recent death; it affirms how death is not the end. Love goes on.
Grief is a long journey. It is also a great teacher, especially when you hold your pain in God’s Grace and ask for His guidance and His love at such a painful time.

We reflect on what it means to call upon the Holy Spirit.

And so, we ask, what does it mean to be anointed with the Love of the Holy Spirit?

It surely means to be touched by the fire, the passion, the Spirit of God Himself. To feel awakened to the light and the truth of God with us, moving, powerful, awesomely, flowing in action. It is a blessing and a command to go out and Love in its fullest spiritual sense. It is to see the blessing of each day, filled with the Holiness of God’s Spirit. Amen

Fear of death

Death can bring up fear, both for the person dying and those who will be left behind. 

Is God really with us? 

Will they be able to cope without the other person. 

What does the future hold?

Let go of all fear, all negativity, all hurt, now. 

Give it to the Lord, so that you can rest; peaceful, free. Ultimately death is a mystery. We require trust, faith and confidence in God to sustain and strengthen us, to love and save us.

I banish all fear in Jesus Christ’s name.

In Him do I trust, with all my heart.

Amen

Lord, help us not to fear death

But rather trust in Your love for us

That lifts us, through Grace, into the Heart of Love

And oneness, forever with the Trinity. 

Amen
