Patricia, this is beautiful! ;)
I love the lines:

“how to be in service to that which is sacred

To be of service in these preparations is the work of the divine – or prayer in action.”

exactly where my heart is lately,..
and I am preparing certainly for something so profound..
the heart must expand to receive it.. and we learn so most as we teach one another- an open vessel ;)

Thank you for sharing so well!
blessings into 2010!
I appreciate networking with you..

"Do all the good you can, By all the means you can...." This reminds me to remind myself that people do what they are able to do... or believe they are able to do.

It was important to keep those things in mind during the last year of my mum's life. I think to be in the present moment is significant in keeping me from getting tired and exhausted as I bake and decorate and clean in preparation...I want to be there for the celebration parts too... You have some nice plans for the season...thank you for sharing, I appreciate your good words and ideas. You too take care.... Hilary,
