We had the privilege of taking a Memorial Service at Woodhill House today, remembering the residents of the home who have died in the past year. We gave thanks for the lives of 10 former residents, each remembered with a white chrysanthemum in our bouquet. We shared the following prayer:
Do not hurry as you walk with grief. It does not help the journey
Walk slowly, pausing often, do not hurry as you walk with grief.
Be not disturbed by memories that come unbidden. Swiftly forgive;
And let Christ speak for you unspoken words.
Unfinished conversation will be resolved in Him.
Be not disturbed.
Be gentle with the one who walks with grief.
If it is you, be gentle with yourself.
Swiftly forgive;
Walk slowly, pausing often.
Take time, be gentle as you walk with grief.
Amen
