Weekly Meditation Verse: Psalm 121 “My help comes from the Lord.”

I’m sure I am not alone in occasionally feeling overwhelmed.  That has certainly been the case over the last week with recovery from a tooth extraction, several big events to plan, not enough days free in May and a visit to the vet with a poorly kitten (all is well now though!). 

As I followed morning prayer today with a cup of hot coffee and a sleepy cat on my knee, I had time to ask for calm and ordered thinking today from God; so far, I’ve had a productive and fruitful morning, plans have fallen into place and my stress levels are dropping. 

As Ruth Rice puts it “It’s important to remember there is a God and it isn’t me.”  We are not alone!  Another way to find support is to connect with other Renew spaces across the region, look out for opportunities this year to meet with other host groups at various on-line and in-person events.
