May your soul breathe deep today, and may your home be a place to be. Not a place to be busy, or to be anxious, or to be contentious. May it not be a place of turmoil, or a place to worry what they are thinking. May it simply be a place of truth, of freedom, and togetherness. May it be restful, joyful, and safe. Enjoy the weekend of thanks and giving.
a place to be
November 24, 2010
I love this, this prayer. This is exactly the feeling I got as I left your home when we visited. As if it was possible, that I could live this. You live it, you know. Thank you for the picture for my heart. You have no idea how that helps me, to be able to see.

Emily, your words – Simple, unfeigned, heartfelt prayer.
Nothing to add, but maybe an echo:
I pray for your day, for everyone here, no agitation, apprehension, no wrangling – but instead, harmony, honesty, grace, voices in concert, relaxation and family. I pray a Restful day, all.
May you and your family have a wonderful, relaxing Thanksgiving together too.
As always, your words breathe peace into my day. And my heart says, “yes!” Yes, this.
