While I’m working from home, I’ve set myself a challenge to have Isaac’s giant Jellycat bunny do something different each day in the background of my video conferencing calls.

This is the daily meditation from a few days ago in the Northumberland Community’s Celtic Daily Prayer (book two) which I have been meditating on for the last few days. I hope it encourages someone as it did me, in these strange days.
Go peaceful
in gentleness
through the violence of these days.
Give freely.
Show tenderness

Through darkness,
in troubled times
let holiness be your aim.
Seek wisdom.
Let faithfulness
burn like a flame.
God speed you!
God lead you,
and keep you wrapped around His heart!
May you be known by love.
Be righteous.
Speak truthfully
in a world of greed and lies.
Show kindness.
See everyone
through heaven’s eyes.
God hold you,
enfold you,
and keep you wrapped around His heart.
May you be known by love.
