This one is dedicated to Jeanine Hardgrave, for her unfailing encouragement!
Okay, here’s something the brothers and sisters do, that we can easily incorporate into our lives at home. They offer their daily tasks as intercessory prayer for others. For instance, “Lord, I dedicate this mopping of my kitchen floor to my friend’s son, who’s having surgery on Monday, Amen.”
I don’t want to add any commentary because I don’t want to corrupt this beautiful practice in any way, or diminish anyone else’s experience with it. Try it, and let me know how it goes.
I’d like to add that my recent silence is due to the cycle of life. I feel there is a time to take in and a time to give out. Lately I’ve been taking in. I’ve become acquainted with a deceased monk named Romuald, and his ideas are changing my life. I will love to share more about him later on in the cycle of life.

Jenn…thats so sweet, but this website has been encouraging for me in this challenging time of my life !
I had read once, the same idea, every time you pass through a doorway in your home, you pray for someone on your heart. Since you are passing through doorways all day long, you are in constant fellowship with the Father. Take it all in , girl, because when you do put out it is such a blessing for others ! Miss you !
That is such a rad way to do things with a happy heart! I need to put that one into practice for sure. I guess the Lord was showing me this because I’m going to do a major cleaning today (and now pray for a lot of people… I’ll be sure to include your family).
