prayer

Morning pray -thoughts-

I love the way father baron shares how so many
parts of the bible are words jesus is speaking that can only be timeless as they
are not literal. So many are their own paradoxes leaving choices for each soul,
belonging to god, to find the way it can sparkle....


“Anyone who chooses to
be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.”
 James 4:4

Prayer
 
You have set before us a choice: You or the world.  We cannot serve both but
only one and we choose to serve You.  Give us the wisdom to see when the world
is taking Your rightful place in our lives and the strength
to put You back as
Lord.


Today I come across this prayer and I can choose to busy myself with
my pile of mail. Worries and woes or --- this penthouse seat
Til I leave for
the hospital..... Isn't it a thirst, a calling, a yearning that writes , and
release it as  praise  ?

Who can I be as my most authentic self and my most
honest self to me, myself, sharing love, a smile, a touch. Holding  a hand,
caring, can I grasp emotion so tightly its praise ?

Amen, blessed for those
who are called to the table of the lamb, lord I praise you , have mercy!

Amen
