The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 540

Good morning everyone and welcome once more to Ballinwillin House Farm, gardens and RetrEat centre. Early this morning as I sat meditating I thought that I would write my own morning prayer to begin my days with and for others to enjoy. It goes as follows:-

To begin the day by Patrick J Mulcahy, The Mindful Farmer

As I gaze out my window of wonder I give thanks for this day as I arise. I bless the night that warmed my heart and now my soul will harvest from the dark.

With all my being I welcome the wonder of this day, offering time and trial for each task. That gives me the opportunity to arise, go forth and illuminate.

All that I breathe today I offer up to the after of heaven. The gift of a beautiful and wonderful family. I give thanks for the beauty and honour my friends bestow me.

I give thanks for my surrounding beauty, the beauty and aroma of these gardens. The beauty, smell and being of my wild animal friends. I pray that they all come alive with me today and I look forward to the invisible that awaits me and you in the paradise of heaven and I crave the arrival of new frontiers.

I reverently pray for the courage and holiness to live the life that we would love, to postpone our dreams no longer but to do at last what we came here for and waste our hearts on fear no more.

Continue to pray, bless, power healing and peace to all who need it. Be mindful, be caring and wear your Monday smile.
