Loving God,
The night sky
is filled with luminaries that
light the darkness. Angels whisper evening
songs to my weary soul. I do
not notice.
As sleep gently calls, I
forget that I have
breathed the morning air, listened to
laughter,
seen the evening sky appear. Another day!
Something
disturbs the rhythm of my sleep,
summons my soul. In
these sleepless moments,
the Holy Spirit is waiting
and listens for my
response. I whisper, Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Holy Father, when I fail to see the beauty of
Your day, remind me with a
glorious morning
to take my breath away, a soul-laugh that only
a listening heart can find, and a night
sky
crowded with stars like diamonds
that demand
a lingering look.
My heart bursts with unmeasured thankfulness!
These
are Your ordinary gifts! I simply miss
them in my
hectic hours, my scheduled chaos, my saturated time.
Give my heart the desire to breathe,
listen, and see the ordinary with
extraordinary
intention. Grant my soul the desire to breathe,
listen, and see Your Extraordinary Gifts
of
Love, Grace, and Joy! Let me seek Your
extravagant gifts in every
day!
Let me shout, Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Refresh my spirit! Refine my faith!
Restore my love! Renew my strength!
Rebuild my trust! Reclaim my soul!
To God be the glory! Amen. ~dho
