Pictures from Wednesday (Thanks, Liz!)
On Thursday the groups go on a scavenger hunt through the town. Summer is saved for Friday, so today, we will let the river inspire us!
Thursday Morning Shalom: The River
Intention for the Day:
“a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,”
“čas plakat a čas se smát, čas rmoutit se a čas tancovat,”
Ecclesiastes 3:4 (Kazatel 3:4)
Quote: “Our lives are better left to chance, I could have missed the pain, but I’d have had to miss the dance.” –Garth Brooks, “The Dance”
Moment of Stillness: Take 5 breaths at your own pace.
Triple Breath: Take 3 quiet breaths in, hold for 3 counts, and softly exhale. Doing this exercise too quickly may cause you to pass out, so remember do this exercise calmly.
The River, by Garth Brooks
You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores
And I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
Till what we put off till tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide
Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Challenge and Blessing
Find some time today to listen to the stories of a neighbor. If they cry, cry with them. If they dance, dance with them. If they laugh, laugh with them.
