Re: Building a Freeway of Love for Courtney - TONIGHT!
This news just fresh from our local support group of young women in the Bay Area:
"Courtney's husband, Jay, is rallying all her troops to send their prayers, thoughts, and loving kindness to Courtney in a huge way at 6pm tonight.
If you can stop and take some moments to send your thoughts and prayers for Courtney at 6pm tonight, you will be uniting with many, many others who are sending Courtney the power of our love, all at the same time."
Let's all do a current of prayer and love for her.
Angels of God,
our guardian dear,
To whom God's love
commits us here,
Ever this day,
be at Courtney's and Jay's side,
To light and guard,
Rule and guide. Amen.
