A Point of Light with Lyrics by Randy Travis


CAMDEN, NJ – OCTOBER 11: A homeless man named Bob waits for donations from passing motorists on October 11, 2012 in Camden, New Jersey. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Camden, New Jersey is now the most impoverished city in the United States with nearly 32,000 of Camden’s residents living below the poverty line. Camden, which sits just over the bridge from more affluent Philadelphia, also has a chronic crime problem with 48 recorded homicides this year alone. A lack of jobs has been a feature of life in Camden since the city lost most of its manufacturing base in the late 60’s and 1970’s. While the state unemployment rate is about 9.9 percent, Camden’s is estimated at 19 percent. Camden is not alone. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)

House ~ Meal ~ Yard ~ Night ~ Driver’s Blessings by Rev. Linda Hourihan


I was among the contributing authors included in the book More Weddings, Funerals And Rites of Passage which I share with you today. Prayer and meditation are a couple of ways to bring in positive Eternal Universal Life Force Energy in everything you do.

It is a way to remind all of us to be our better Selves in the face of negative alternatives in the world today, by inviting in the very Eternal Universal Life Force Energy that animates our Souls, as well as the entire cosmos.

Bringing in higher Eternal Universal Life Force Energy vibrational frequencies make all the difference in your surroundings, what you eat, how you go to sleep, including how you drive.

House Blessing

Angels of Light and Love, fill this house with the radiant warmth of our Divine Creator.

Touch every nook and cranny with the peace, harmony and compassion of our Divine Inspiration.

Allow all family, friends and guests to bask in the tender and loving embrace of the I AM Presence in all of us who live here.

Ground our house with understanding and forgiveness.

And forever be the pillar of strength that supports our hearts and minds.

Meal Blessing

Bless this food, Oh God, with your Heavenly Vibration.

Raise the level of my awareness to realize the wholesome goodness in what You have grown for me.

Nourish me in body, mind and soul and transform this food into loving service of You.

Yard Blessing

Thank You God, Author of all life, for this yard, this part of the earth You have allowed me to care for.

I ask Your blessing on all living, growing things, that they flourish under your ever-watchful eye.

Allow my hands to be Your hands as I work the soil, plant the seed, feed the birds and care for the animals You send my way.

Let those who walk by enjoy the beauty of Your Creation and breathe in the tranquility of Your Spirit.

Night Blessing

Oh Divine Mother Spirit, care, protect and nurture us this night.

Show us our Divine Helpers, our Guardian Angels, our Solar Angels, the Archangels.

Remind us we are not here alone.

Surround us with our spiritual guides, our animals guides, our healing devas.

Helps us remember our dreams, that place where You speak to us and unfold our lives.

Embrace our footsteps of the day as we journeyed on our way to You.

Receive our love for You as we love one another, loving You in them.

Driver’s Blessing

Help me to remember, oh God, that I am not Mario Andretti.

Send me gentle reminders that this road that I am on is not the Indy 500.

Let me see the person in front of me as my friend, as You.

Please don’t look back in the rearview mirror Lord, I’ll try to be better, safer, more tolerant.

And I’ll try not to drive faster than my angels can fly.

God Bless Everyone Everywhere

The Nature of Wisdom ~ The Wisdom of The Soul


“The Nature of Wisdomwhite owl

For in her there is a spirit that is

intelligent, holy,

unique, manifold, subtle,

mobile, clear, unpolluted,

distinct, invulnerable,

loving the good, keen,

irresistible, beneficent, humane,

steadfast, sure, free from anxiety,

all-powerful, overseeing all,

and penetrating through all spirits

that are intelligent and pure and

most subtle.

For wisdom is more mobile

than any motion;

because of her pureness she pervades

and penetrates all things.

For she is a breath

of the power of God,

and a pure emanation of the glory

of the Almighty;

therefore nothing defiled gains

entrance into her,

For she is a reflection

of eternal LIGHT,

a spotless mirror

of the working of God,

and an image of his goodness.

Though she is but one,

she can do many things,

while remaining in herself,

she can renew all things;

in every generation she passes

into holy souls

and makes them friends of God,

and prophets;

for God loves nothing so much

as the one who lives with wisdom.

For she is more beautiful

than the sun,

and excels every constallation

of the stars.

Compared to the light she is

found to be superior,

for it is succeeded by the night,

but against wisdom

evil does not prevail.

She reaches mightily from one end

of the earth to the other,

and she orders all things well.” Wisdom of Solomn 7: 22b – 8:1
