TODAY

Prayer: to sit quietly on the shore - at the

edge of the water, - at the edge of the world -

to pause and to pray each morning - a word

of “Thanks to You, O Lord, for one

more day of precious,  knowable life.”

Prayer: to set sail - to cross the waters -

to discover Christ on the waters of life -

in traffic - as well as on the other shore -

at work - to care about those folks I interact

with each day in so many unique ways.

Prayer: to see Christ today in and working

with  others - in the odd and in the sane -

in the lonely and in the life of the party -

all those who cross my path - and those

who are not sure of what path to follow.

Prayer: to head home after the work of the

day - to find out what my family did today -

to compare notes - to laugh and to love and

to thank God for one more precious knowable

day - knowing there is another one tomorrow.
