Silent Prayer
& Centering

Circle me Lord

Keep protection near, And danger afar.
Keep light near, And darkness afar.
Keep peace within, Keep evil out.
Keep hope within, Keep doubt without.
May you be a bright flame before me
May you be a guiding star above me,
May you be a smooth path below me
And a loving Guide behind me

A SEASON OF FULFILLMENT

Photo by Aaron Burden

At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire. (This was the first census taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) All returned to their own towns to register for this census. And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David's ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. He took with him Mary, his fiancé, who was obviously pregnant by this time. And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. – Luke 2:1-6
