Dear Spirit Song,
Today we begin a brand new week, and our world and lives are changing. . .dramatically.
I’m holding all of you in prayer each day, for safety and health, and a rapid flattening of the curve!
One thing is constant. . . we are each held as the beloved of God, and that love is constant and unwavering. . During this time, how do we each embrace this reality, and live in that love, that knows no boundaries? Love, the most powerful force in the universe, is contagious! Let’s spread it in all the ways we can!
Each day as we have self-isolated, I’ve been trying to think of what we can do to lift spirits, assist and support those who must not go out at all, and how to leverage technology to help us do these things.
Inspired by our Italian sisters and brothers, we have started a daily community sing along at 6:00 p.m.
We step outside and sing a favorite song, with friends and neighbors. . . far and near! Please join us, and invite others to join in as well! Tonight our song is This Little Light of Mine– #591 in your book.
Tonight we hope to use Facebook Live on our Spirit Song Facebook group, to lead the song from our porch. . . I’m assured (by my children) that this is relatively simple to do, so it should be a go! In case you go there, and we’re not there, go ahead and sing anyway, and invite friends and neighbors to join in as well! So tune in tonight around 5:55, so we’re all ready to go at 6:00!
In closing, I’d like to share a reflection passed on by Ron Reimann, (my father-in-law, and Spirit Song member). . . make sure you read all the way to the end. . .
Peace and Blessings, Mary
