Start there, and take some time to catch your breath and relax -- time when you can let this gift and promise of God's love sink in. Maybe schedule some time in your day to pray, or to read the Bible. (NOTE: If you don't have a Bible, just let us know and we'll give you one.) Make sure you find time to do something you love to do in celebration of God's love.
God Almighty, creation dances for you and with you. Help us to embrace our identity as your beloved children, and to find ways to joyfully serve you in all that we do. In Jesus name we pray, AMEN.
