"White Stone"

"On the white stone is written a new name that no
one knows except the one who receives it." Rev 2:17.

In this New Year of 2010 we take time to go within
and commune with Spirit. What do we want to be in
this gift of a new year? What name or word will be
a reminder to us as we meet each new day?

As the word comes forth, it is our opportunity to
write it down on a white stone, so that we can
carry it with us. (If you don't have a white stone
you can write it on a piece of paper. The idea is
to make it yours, and something to keep as a
reminder for the rest of the year.)

Most of us were not given the opportunity to give
ourselves a name when we began this life. But, we
can choose a name or characteristic or idea that
we want to take as ours for this year.

In ancient times when a slave was set free they
were given a white stone as a symbol of their
freedom. Today we can use the white stone as a
symbol of our freedom to be.

Let Us Pray:
Living, loving Presence, we go within and we rest
with You. We allow You to speak to us, and guide
us to the word that is ours for this new year. We
desire to be expressions of You in our world. Thank
You for guiding us and directing us. Amen.

Happy New Year! We are grateful for each one of
You. Please let us know if there is any way we may
support you as you step into this new year.

Blessings,
Sandy
