Prayer

I picked this prayer at random today, when I was praying in front of my Ancestor Altar. It comes from the book Every Day I Pray by Iyanla Vanzant. I thought I would share it with you all. The painting is Symphony of Angels by John Holyfield

Thank God for Faith!

Dear Father/Mother God:
Thank you for the gift of faith.
When I am alone and frightened, faith is there.
When it appears that my resources adn reserves are diminished, faith is there.
When my friends shut their eyes and turn their backs, faith is there.
When I make decisions and choices that are not in my best interest, faith is there.
When my human world is in turmoil, faith is there.
When my human mind can no longer see the goodness you have in store for me, faith is there.
I am so grateful for the gift of faith.
I cannot buy it. I cannot borrow it. I need only to acknowledge you in all my ways and faith is there;
with its Mother, Grace and its Father, Mercy; always at my side.
I am faith filled, I am faithful. I know your angels are faithfully watching over me and paving my way.
Thanik you Father/Mother God.
For this I am so grateful.
And So It Is!

All Souls Day

Happy All Souls Day/Feliz Dia de los Muertos! Without the Ancestors, we would not exist and their wisdom is needed in this day and age more than ever. I made a small altar for the Ancestors in my kitchen. Modupe Egun!
