Rewilding our Souls

Joy, Play & Family Day

2/21/2023

0 Comments

 
This month Lisa Carr-Pries led our gathered worship time on Family Day weekend with an invitation to reflect on joy and play. Here is a short re-cap of her invitation for you to do on your own.

Psalm 30:9-12
You changed my wild lament  into dancing.
    You ripped off my funeral clothes
        and dressed me up in joy
    so that my whole being
    might sing praises to you and never stop.
Lord, my God, I will give thanks to you forever.


​Take time to wander and wonder, spin and smile - to consider this theme of delight, playfulness and joy. What comes to mind when you think of whimsy? What brought you immense joy as a child?  What was the last time you saw something and it took your breath away? How did that  change you?

End your wandering with this blessing:

Go from here knowing that 
That divine delights in you, 
 just as you are. 
Find delight in the Earth, 
Joy and gratitude will be your rich reward .
Amen
