staying still in the swirl


One son is showering, one has gone with his sister for groceries, a daughter is away at work, another son and daughter are camping, and yet another playing at a friend's house and the husband is at work, saving the world. And I sit here quiet, still, peaceful, alone at the dinner table. The day is winding down, coming to close. God, you are here too. This morning you were so present to me at the altar also. How you permeate my life and thoughts, my heart fills with love and wonder. You are beauty itself. All praise and all thanksgiving belong to you. Your word is everlasting.
Answer the prayers of all those who seek you, show us your mercy.
