In reply to Ceil. just read about your silent retreat. How wonderful! Letting go is a challenge for me. I hope writing this series I learn and get better at this. Blessings on your week!

Hi Jean! I am only now figuring out the benefits of letting go, so I loved this post. The quote from Thomas a Kempis really hit me. There can be so much joy in just giving over worries and fears to God. He will take care of them! I think maybe I am growing in trust. (At least I hope so!)
I’m so glad that writing these words started to heal you too. I think we often write about what we know, and it does serve to help others, but us too!
Have a peaceful Sunday,
Ceil

In reply to Martha Orlando. I almost mentioned that song in this post too. Once you hear it, it sticks in your head too but certainly fits this topic! What a blessing to have them there with you this week! enjoy those times.

Jean, I just recently saw the movie “Frozen” while babysitting my granddaughters. Ever since then, the song “Let It Go” has been swirling around in my head. How perfect, then, to read your words here today. Yes, there is much to be gained by letting go of what we think we need to grow closer to God. I will certainly download the list you are offering here. Blessings!
