“Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.”
Frederick Buechner, Now and Then: A Memoir of Vocation
Thank you, Lord, for welcoming me to a new week full of challenges, celebrations, HOT weather, sunshine and a lifetime spent in Your Glory. Our lives have become so busy that I often feel like I don’t spend enough time with You, my Heavenly Father. It’s easy to become so caught up in the chaos of life that sometimes even my prayers are spoken on my way from one place to another. That is one of the immeasurable reasons I love you so… You listen to my prayers, even if they are spoken in the car as I wait for my children during their activities. You listen as I sit next to a friend taking chemotherapy. You listen when I am preparing dinner or doing the dishes… You HEAR me above the noise of my life and every night, when life is quiet, I pray how grateful I am to have You with me every step of the way.
