I love this Ruth. It reminds me of Etty Hillesum and what she called her “constant dialogue with God”.
Can I add celebration and play to it? xxx
Thank you so much for your encouragement! I don’t know what ‘celebration and play’ signifies, but can’t ever imagine you wanting to do anything bad, so yes, by all means XXXXXX
Just some of the joyful aspects of life alongside the more serious, and possibly, more difficult ones. xxx
NB I’m at least relieved that I realised what you meant BEFORE I read your last message! XXXX
Penny just dropped! I thought that “Celebration and Play” was perhaps the name of a website you wanted to link this prayer to! How slow is that?? Now I realise you want to add 2 extra verses, which is a lovely idea XXXXX
Lol Ruth ☺ ‘Celebration and Play’ – now there’s a good name for a website! xxx
One for you, perhaps? xxxx
