L'ISLE VERTE

As I sit in my office this afternoon with the sun streaming in on me I pause to think about the people in L'Isle Verte. My heart breaks for the pain they are feeling. I can't image the devastation. I just want to take a moment and offer to them, my love, light and thoughts. I offer this prayer: In the quiet of this moment as I pause to remember, I open my heart to all that is holy in my life. I hold the people of L'Isle Verte in my thoughts and my tears fall. Sadness fills my heart for the tragedy this community faces, so many lives lost. In the stillness that surrounds me, I offer my love and light. May the richness of comfort and love be with all those who have lost loved ones or whose loved ones have survived and are suffering, and all those whose loved ones have not yet been found. It is in such times as these that community gathers to be the presence needed. So may strength be found in L'Isle Verte, in the workers who are tireless in their efforts, in the community that surrounds all those who are suffering, in the love and prayer, the money and help that pours into the community in the coming days and weeks. May Strength be present and may a grain of hope be found that comfort may be felt. As one who dwells in the light, I pray. Amen.
