Another
Celtic practice I learned about while on my retreat was the prayer of blessing –
over what we would call, “every little thing”. Morning blessings, washing
dishes, making the bed – praying over the sleep of loved ones, the food God
sent our way … etc. A heightened awareness of God’s presence and provision. We
were asked to sit in silence and think about how our day starts. Here is my
morning prayer of blessing:
Thank
You, God, for this morning
As
my body slowly awakes.
My
soul also stirs in greeting
Awaiting
its quiet time with You.
So,
bless, O God, the coffee perking.
Bless,
O God, the pills I must take.
Bless
the kitties purring
And
the scratching of ears they insist I partake.
Then
be with me this hour
As
with coffee and bible in prayer,
I
seek Your direction and guidance
And
surrender every care.
