There is no recording this week as it is Remembering Sunday. Feel welcome to take some time today to reflect on those you would like to Remember and honor. Those who have helped shape us and our lives. Those who remind us that those we love are never gone and we are never truly alone.

Loving Spirit, today we remember those who came before. Those who planted the seeds they would never see bloom and gave us blooms and fruits and new seeds.  

May the quiet faithful, the deeply courageous, and the gentle healers inspire us.  

As we whisper the names of our loved ones, we create a blessing of their memory and know that we are not alone.  We carry their courage and their gifts.  We continue the work they left unfinished.  We honor their legacies by planting new seeds.  

May we walk with the wisdom of the souls who came before, to become the strongest bridge between them and the beautiful future to come.  Amen
